At least one Holcomb Bridge family and several former students were left without clothes, furniture or food after the fire. About 14 staffs boarded to the with students who live at the complex to ensure that the students were united with their families. At the school, the school's ongoing iCare character education program was activated, bringing in money, clothing, furniture, household items and canned goods. Teachers borrowed a truck and delivered the items to the families.
