LAS VEGAS, Jan. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Las Vegas Chapter of the Women of Global Change (WGC) has launched the Project L.A. County Impact Drive, a donation campaign running from January 17 to January 31, 2025. This initiative aims to provide essential resources and support to the thousands of families displaced by the devastating Los Angeles County fires.
The recent fires in Los Angeles County have caused catastrophic damage, displacing thousands, destroying hundreds of homes, and leaving entire communities in crisis. With significant property loss, widespread evacuations, and an urgent need for resources, the recovery process will require immediate and sustained collective efforts.
The Project L.A. County Impact Drive focuses on collecting new socks, undergarments (all sizes and genders), and baby supplies to meet immediate needs. Drop-off locations are available across the Las Vegas Valley, including Mariposa Cocina & Cocktails, the Urban Chamber of Commerce, Nevada Partners Incubator, Gritz Cafe, UNLV Campus, and Black Fire Innovation.
"As the Chapter President of Women of Global Change, Las Vegas Chapter, I am proud to lead our community in the Impact Drive to support those displaced by the LA fires. Our hearts go out to all affected, and we are committed to mobilizing resources and support to aid in their recovery. Together, we can make a significant impact and help our neighbors rebuild their lives during this challenging time," said Tiffany Ward, Las Vegas Chapter President of Women of Global Change and CEO of InspireWorks HR Solutions.
Dr. Dame Shellie Hunt, Founder of the Women of Global Change, also shared her thoughts:
"At WGC, we stand united in compassion and action. The devastation caused by the Los Angeles County fires reminds us of the power of community, and I am inspired by the dedication of the Las Vegas Chapter to support those in need. Together with the generous support of our members, local organizations, and the broader community, we aim to deliver hope and assistance to families in their time of crisis."
The drive has garnered significant community support, with sponsors including UNLV, Gritz Cafe, Mariposa Cocina & Cocktails, Nevada Partners, Black Fire Innovation, Urban Chamber of Commerce, and the National Action Network Youth (N.A.N). Beyoncé, Eva Longoria and Jamie Lee Curtis to Halle Berry, Meghan and Prince Harry have also joined the relief efforts, with many pledging financial aid, hosting fundraisers, and donating critical supplies to raise awareness of the urgent need for resources to many different organizations. Their involvement has highlighted the importance of collective action and encouraged widespread participation.
The drive welcomes community members to contribute generously to this cause. Drop-off points are open daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. For more information, visit the official website at http://www.womenofglobalchange.com/las-vegas
