Fire at St. George's Episcopal Church... Thursday Dec. 1: A fire which broke out early Tuesday morning destroyed facilities at St. George's Episcopal Church in Hawthorne.
The blaze, which may have been caused by an electrical short-circuit in a hallway, destroyed the parish hall, the church offices, and the Chapel of St. Anne.
Among the items lost were dozens of teddy bears, handmade quilts and other items that St. George's had collected to be given to a local domestic violence shelter as Christmas gifts.
The diocese has established a fund to help rebuild St. George's facilities. Contribution checks may be made payable to Treasurer of the Diocese and sent to: Michael Cunningham, Cathedral Center of St. Paul, 840 Echo Park Avenue, Los Angeles 90026. Please write "St. George's, Hawthorne" in the memo line.
