Donations can be made on the mission's website San Fernando Valley Rescue Mission.

NBC4 has a long partnership with the San Fernando Valley Rescue Mission as part of the I am a Volunteer campaign. The station committed $5,000 on Sunday to help start a rebuilding fund.

About $25,000 had been raised by Sunday night.

Several homeless people lost the few items they owned in a fire that destroyed the shelter they were staying in early Saturday morning.

The San Fernando Valley Rescue Mission at 13422 Saticoy Street in North Hollywood was declared a total loss after going up in flames, officials said. The fire was initially reported just before 1 a.m as flames from a large outdoor palette fire roared next door to the building that housed the shelter.
