In times of crisis, our community comes together. After the wildfires ravaged parts of LA in January - impacting families, businesses, and communities across LA County - our members stepped up to support relief efforts in their own unique ways.
These are the incredible Made in LA brands who have donated funds to local nonprofits or offered other support for the most impacted communities in LA, helping to rebuild and heal our beloved city:
