As I’m sure everyone is aware by now, the tragedies going on in California right now are unimaginable. I’ve been trying to actively find ways that we can help out to impact in a way that is productive to the issue at hand. We won’t know where exact help is needed until the fires have been subsided and have an end point. With that being said, a good idea that was brought up was to assist those who are the front lines as they are fighting these endless fires and putting their lives on the line for their community. They are exhausted and trying their best to keep up with the constant spread of flames. Many places are donating meals and supplies to those in need including Le Great Outdoor located in Santa Monica. For now I’ve come across a few sites and options and this one in particular stuck out to me. Even with parts of Santa Monica being issued an evacuation notice, this restaurant seems to still be in a safe zone. Donate a meal if you can to these hardworking individuals (and to evacuees) or share this to your page! I’ll keep looking for ways to do my part to help out, I’ll update if I find anything else that would help helpful for us to do 🤍 the link to the site is listed below: https://lnkd.in/eX5T_tEs Shoutout to Le Great Outdoor for helping out and doing their part to support everyone affected. These are the times we need one another. Connection is important. Showing up for your community is important. Being selfless during this time is important. #CaliforniaWildfires #Wildfires #CaliforniaFires #ClimateChange #Community #firefighting #doyourpart

The scale of devastation caused by the LA fires is staggering. Entire communities have been reduced to ashes, livelihoods destroyed, and countless families are left with nothing but uncertainty. This isn’t a moment for red vs. blue debates, it’s a time for humanity to rise above and come together. At Sustainably Fresh, we’re taking action by donating $500 to the LA Fire Department, supporting their tireless efforts to protect lives and communities. But the need is overwhelming, and we can do more together. I challenge others to match this donation or contribute to organizations on the front lines of relief and recovery. These families need our support, not our politics. Let’s focus on what matters most: helping those who’ve lost everything rebuild their lives. #LAFires #HumanityFirst #SupportAndRebuild
