When wildfires devastated California communities in 2018, Aaron Rodgers' hometown of Chico was among them. He teamed up with State Farm(R) to help the area's long-term recovery.

Aaron donated $1 million to the North Valley Community Foundation and challenged others to #Retweet4Good. State Farm Neighborhood of Good(R) also donated $1 million. Countless others joined in. All told, $3 million was raised.

Now, a year later, the Aaron Rodgers NorCal Fire Recovery Fund is actively making grants. The funds are supporting kids' programs, youth and high school sports, and transitional and permanent housing.

Rodgers was recently a guest on the Pat McAfee show. McAfee complimented the work he and State Farm have done promoting wildfire relief.

"I just got all of the stats sent to me about what you and State Farm have been able to do for California Wildfire relief," McAfee said. "Incredible work."

"State Farm has been a great partner for a long time with some good commercials. With their Neighborhood of Good, they already do a ton of great stuff," Rodgers said. "Last year, I felt compelled to help out the area I grew up in, and they stepped up and donated $1 million alongside me."

Rodgers talked about the impact the fires had on his hometown and surrounding communities, including Paradise.

"To have two bad fires in two years, it's been tough on those fine folks," Rodgers said. "But there have been a lot of great people helped by the donations of State Farm and some other amazing folks in the state and across the country. It's been fun to see people come together."
