Rebuild Escondido is the home of the long term recovery center (LTRC) for the greater Escondido Area, assisting our fire-impacted families and the community in rebuilding Escondido together. Rebuild Escondido provides advocacy, information, referral, and coordination of assistance services for our fire-impacted households. We recognize all of the various communities in and around the city of Escondido that were affected by the fires and we hope to bring the community together to recover, rebuild, and heal.

Long Term Recovery Center

Rebuild Escondido is one of six long term recovery centers (LTRC) in San Diego County, created by a grant from The San Diego Foundation to aid each fire-impacted community in its recovery process. The other long term recovery centers are RB United, Ramona Fire Recovery Center, Harris Fire Recovery Center, and the Fallbrook Fire Recovery Center. The mission of these county recovery teams is to provide and coordinate emotional, physical, financial, and spiritual resources to help rebuild the homes and lives of families affected by the San Diego Wildfires of October 2007. 

Our Mission

Our office is intended to serve as a clearing house to connect community offers of assistance with eligible fire victims needing help.  Fire victims are encouraged to make contact with the Rebuild Escondido Long Term Recovery center by calling (760) 746-FIRE to report their needs.

Donors or volunteers also can call (760) 746-FIRE to obtain referrals as to how they can help.

Our office in Escondido is located at 550 W. Washington Ave, Escondido, CA 92025 and at this time is open by appointment only. You can reach one of our staff by calling 760-746-FIRE (3473) or sending an email to rebuildescondido@gmail.com .

Donated items should NOT be brought to the center for distribution.
