We Love You, Los Angeles
These are devastating times for Southern Californians and their loved ones. The impact of the fires continues to be grave and wide-reaching. We built PrimaFoodie in Los Angeles. Our team member, Adrienne, lives there, as do some of our family members, dearest friends, and community members. We are holding everyone there in our hearts.
It’s been incredible to see how people have shown up for each other. If you're seeking to help, knowing where to start can be overwhelming. Simply reaching out to someone with a text or call goes miles. If you're looking to donate, we’ve listed some organizations to consider, starting with one dedicated to providing warm meals to those displaced and on the front lines.
World Central Kitchen
Founded in 2010 by Chef José Andrés, this global organization has been on the ground providing meals to people in Los Angeles and beyond impacted by the fires. Chef Andrés started WCK years ago by saying “when people are hungry, send in cooks. Not tomorrow, today.” He and his team have delivered on this statement for more than 14 years.
Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation
This foundation provides the vital equipment that LAFD needs to fight fires. The work here transcends political parties and divides and all funds go directly to the people actively working to save lives in the LA community.
Canine Rescue Club
Thousands upon thousands of people have lost their homes, which means that countless animals have been displaced. This team provides displaced dogs with temporary housing, links to fosters, transport, medical care, and food.
American Red Cross Los Angeles Region
With emergency centers around Southern California for evacuees, the Red Cross seeks donations to help them continue to provide food, health services, clothing, and shelter to those who have been displaced.
Baby2Baby
In 2023, Baby2Baby raised more than $12 million to help fund efforts to assist families living in poverty and forced between buying food or diapers for their children. Their efforts are incredible and they’ve extended across LA this past week, bringing families of children diapers, food, personal care products, and formula for kids and families who've lost homes.
