Los Angeles 2025 Wildfires

As fires continue to devastate our city, we stand in solidarity with all Angelenos who have been displaced or affected by this disaster. We hope you and your loved ones are staying safe and vigilant during these challenging times.

FOR OUR MEMBERS

We’ve been in communication with local governmental groups, nonprofits, and community organizations seeking financial aid, loan support, and ways to help employees recover lost wages. We’re urgently working to get you the critical resources we know could be the difference between survival and closure. Please check back for more updates. We will be aggregating all updates on our Instagram page and in the link below.

FOR OUR GUESTS, CUSTOMERS, & SUPPORTERS ACROSS THE GLOBE

So many of you from outside Los Angeles have reached out asking how you can help, and we’re incredibly touched by your kindness. That’s why we’re coming together to collect donations, which will go directly to women-owned small businesses restaurants, bars, cafes, bakeries, food trucks, pop-ups, and more as they work to rebuild and recover. 100% of proceeds will be transparently distributed, and we’ll share a full report so you can see the impact of your generosity. Thank you for being part of this effort to support these incredible women and their businesses. It means the world.

Together, we’ll navigate this difficult time!
