The devastating Los Angeles fires have left countless families displaced, many of whom have lost their homes and possessions in the blink of an eye. These families are facing unimaginable challenges and urgently need our community's support to rebuild their lives. We are collecting donations of clothes, hygiene products, and other essential items to provide comfort and relief during this difficult time. Whether it’s warm clothing, toiletries, or basic household supplies, every contribution can make a significant difference in helping these families find stability and hope as they navigate this crisis.

If you’re unable to donate items, you can still make a meaningful impact by contributing directly through bristolbates.org/donate (direct or via Paypal).

Our volunteers along with several partners will be packaging goods and driving them up to areas impacted this week.

Your financial support will allow us to purchase critical resources and deliver aid where it’s needed most. Together, we can stand by our neighbors, offering not just necessities but also the reassurance that they are not alone in this journey. Let’s come together as a community to extend our compassion and help these families take the first steps toward recovery.

Bristol & Bates Foundation expands upon efforts to combat hunger in Orange County and Los Angeles County.

We are thrilled to share a new agency partnership that will allow us to reach even more residents and seniors with our monthly Food programs. The new agency partnership will be working with the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) and will significantly help our efforts to combat hunger and food insecurity. This expansion is a testament to our commitment to serving our community and providing much-needed assistance. The foundation will now provide assistance and services to Los Angeles County.

"Our assistance programs are not just about enrolling senior citizens and providing quality food. They are about valuing and caring for our community. Our food/hunger programs aim to improve the health of low-income persons at least 60 years of age by supplementing their diets with healthy and nutritious food.", said James Mai, CEO of Bristol & Bates Foundation.

"With rising costs of goods, particularly food, we are seeing an increase in individuals reaching out for help. We are providing direct help to over a hundred families in Nee, and with this program launched last month, we can scale our outreach to include more targeted cities in Orange County and now Los Angeles counties.", he added.

If you know someone who could benefit from this, contact us today to take the first step towards securing nutritious food and peace of mind.
