Hollywood Reporter: Six Months After the Los Angeles Wildfires

Like many Angelenos, Mark Duplass felt a desperate desire to help friends and neighbors displaced by January’s Los Angeles wildfires and sprang into action, distributing gift cards and fulfilling fire victims’ Amazon wish lists through his nonprofit, The Soul Points Fund.

Six months after the fires, the Morning Show star is surprised to find how much need remains in the city, even as news cameras have moved on and donations have waned.

“There are still so many people sleeping in tents on their burn sites or bopping around to hotels,” says Duplass, who co-founded The Soul Points Fund with his wife, actor/filmmaker Katie Aselton. “I thought at the six-month point we’d be much further along at helping people move into their permanent homes.”
