Thousands of California residents have lost their homes and community spaces due to the devastating wildfires that began last Tuesday. In response, organizations in New York, nearly 3,000 miles away from Los Angeles, are coming together to provide relief efforts.
Stew Leonard's is teaming up with the Red Cross and officials from the Yonkers Fire Department to bring aid directly to the West Coast. The partnership includes a donation drive hosted by Stew Leonard's in Yonkers, which will run from now until Feb. 14.
The long-term plans, spearheaded by the Red Cross and fire departments, aim to provide emergency shelters, support for first responders, and supply distributions. Andrew Hollis, from the Yonkers Stew Leonard's location, hopes to raise $100,000 toward relief efforts.
