On November 11th the Boys & Girls Club of Malibu established the Malibu Emergency Relief Fund in response to the Woolsey Wildfire that was declared a city, state and federal disaster. The BGCM is raising funds to support people living in and working in unincorporated and Malibu City limits being defined by the geographic boundaries of the Santa Monica Malibu Unified School District.
