Supporting LA Fires
As so many of us who are devastated by the LA fires, we wanted to be able to gather supplies that people will need if they were evacuated or lost their home in the fires. Based on what groups in LA are specifically asking for, we are collecting the following items through 1/19/25:
- New toiletries (toothpaste, shampoo, feminine products, toothbrushes, deodorant, etc.)
- New N95 masks (no fabric masks please)
- Non-perishable foods- cans, boxed foods (please check expiration date)
We cannot take items not on the above list. Check out the Mutual Aid LA Network google doc that may have other ways to help.
Thank you so much for the outpouring of support already.
