Helping the LA Community, One Care Package at a Time
Impact So Far
11,500+ hygiene products distributed to LA's unhoused communities
6,000+ hygiene products provided to LA wildfire victims
Hi, my name is Aria Zarifpour! During the COVID-19 quarantine I thought to myself "Who is the most vulnerable and at-risk population right now?" The unhoused community came to mind. Due to their lack of supplies, sanitation, and money I knew they would be the most susceptible to get the virus. Because of this, I started GiveforLA to provide hygiene care packages to LA's unhoused community, hoping to provide safety and sanitation during the pandemic.
Since starting, this has grown into a broader mission to help those facing a crisis in the city. When devastating wildfires displaced thousands of Angelenos, we launched a campaign to supply essential hygiene products to those affected.
All of this is only possible because of the generosity of those who extended their hearts to assist others in need.
