In response to the urgent need for temporary housing for residents displaced by the wildfires ravaging Southern California, a group from Denver is stepping up to provide relief. EmergencyRV, a nonprofit organization founded by Woody Faircloth, is sending RVs to the region to assist those who have lost their homes in this week’s devastating fires.
Faircloth, who was inspired by the aftermath of the 2018 Camp Fire in Northern California, first came up with the idea to gift an RV to a family who had lost everything. His vision grew from there, and EmergencyRV was born. Since then, the nonprofit has helped over 300 families find shelter by providing RVs in the wake of natural disasters, including the recent Hurricane Helene in North Carolina, where they delivered 85 RVs.
“Our mission is simple: we prioritize first responders, veterans, and any family in need after a disaster—if we have the resources to help,” Faircloth explained.
The nonprofit operates by relying on donations, both monetary and in the form of RVs, which are gifted to families in need. RVs can also be donated by individuals, who receive a tax deduction for their contribution, while recipients are given fully equipped mobile homes to live in. “It’s a win-win situation for everyone involved,” said Faircloth.

The organization is now turning its focus to the families affected by the Southern California wildfires. Faircloth and his team are set to fly to California to meet with local nonprofits and determine where the RVs can be set up. Each RV comes with a fully functioning kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom, providing a crucial temporary home as families begin the difficult process of rebuilding their lives.
“This is an especially hard time because many of these families don’t have fire insurance, so recovery will take a long time,” Faircloth acknowledged. “Our goal is to make the transition easier with these RVs, and we plan to have them fully stocked with everything people need to live in them.”
Since its inception, EmergencyRV has helped thousands of families, and Faircloth is hopeful they will be able to offer similar assistance in Southern California. “It’s a tragic situation, but we’re determined to help however we can,” he said.
Once families are ready to move on, the majority of RV recipients donate their vehicles back to the nonprofit, allowing EmergencyRV to continue its mission of helping others in need.
Those interested in donating RVs or receiving one for shelter can visit EmergencyRV.org to fill out a form and get involved. The organization is committed to offering a helping hand, one RV at a time, to ensure that no family has to face disaster alone.
