Helping the LA Community, One Care Package at a Time

Impact So Far

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.

Fundraising campaign to provide hygiene kits began

National support enabled us to quickly assemble and distribute hygiene kits 

In under 2 weeks we donated 6,000+ hygiene kits to the YMCA to help LA wildfire victims
