As devastating fires ravage the Los Angeles region, we are closely monitoring the impact on our school and community partners as well as our supporters. Our hearts are heavy as we witness incredible loss.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Of utmost concern is the immediate and prolonged impact this disaster will have on kids, families and the greater community. Families are facing the loss of their homes and evacuations, alongside lost jobs and incomes. At the same time, destruction to school buildings, air quality and power outages has led to school closures – which means the loss of school meals. The result is a situation where many kids and families are facing hunger.<\/span><\/p>

We are grateful for the heroic work of our local partners who have jumped into action to meet the needs of our community. Los Angeles and Pasadena Unified School Districts are operating meal pick-up sites, where students can pick up breakfast and lunch while schools are closed. Members of the culinary community, alongside local organizations and volunteers, are coming together to provide meals for those in affected communities.<\/span><\/p>

For our friends and families across Southern California affected by the fires, we encourage you to stay informed through trusted sources and remain vigilant.<\/span><\/p>
