Supporting Our Community Through LA Fires Relief Efforts
The recent devastating wildfires in Los Angeles have deeply affected families, neighborhoods, and the broader community. As Southern California faces this challenging time, it’s critical to come together to support those impacted and help with recovery efforts.
The spirit of innovation and collaboration that drives the manufacturing industry mirrors the determination needed in moments like these. Together, we can assist the recovery process by donating to organizations like the Westside & LA Food Banks, supporting blood drives, and spreading awareness to mobilize relief efforts.
Let’s stand united with the people of Los Angeles during this time of need and make a meaningful difference for those affected by wildfires. Whether you’re donating or sharing these efforts with others, your contribution matters.
Informa Markets Engineering is proud to donate $15,000 to support LA wildfire relief efforts. Together, we can make a meaningful impact and help rebuild our community.
Ways To Get Involved
Westside Food Bank
Westside Food Bank is a vital lifeline for individuals and families facing food insecurity in Los Angeles County. Serving the Westside community, including areas heavily impacted by the recent wildfires, this nonprofit organization provides essential resources to those in need, including nutritious food, hygiene products, and disaster relief support. View their page.
During the LA wildfires, Westside Food Bank has stepped up efforts to assist displaced residents and those affected by the disaster, providing not just food but also a sense of stability during uncertain times.
Supporting their work means directly contributing to the recovery and well-being of the community. Every donation—whether it’s food, essentials, or financial aid—helps ensure the people of Los Angeles can rebuild and thrive.
* Thrivent will match all contributions up to $50,000 to support Westside Food Bank's fire relief efforts. For every $2 contributed, Thrivent will add a $1 match and handle all fees for donations made via their platform.
LA Food Bank
The Los Angeles Regional Food Bank is a lifeline for countless families and individuals facing food insecurity, especially in times of crisis. For over 50 years, the LA Food Bank has been dedicated to providing meals to those in need throughout Los Angeles County. View their page.
By distributing emergency food supplies, including nutritious meals and essential items, the LA Food Bank ensures that no one impacted by the wildfires goes without support. They work tirelessly with a network of local partners, food pantries, and shelters to deliver immediate relief to those in need.
To make contributing as easy as possible, we’ve created an Amazon Registry specifically for this cause. The registry is a curated list of high-need items—such as canned goods, grains, proteins, and hygiene products—that you can purchase online. Once you select and buy items from the registry, they will be shipped directly to the LA Food Bank to support their wildfire relief efforts.

The need for blood donations is critical during emergencies like these, and we’re partnering with SPMC to host an on-site Red Cross Blood Drive during the event.
Blood donations are essential to save lives, especially when hospitals are stretched thin responding to both wildfire injuries and other urgent medical needs. By donating blood, you can provide hope and healing to those who need it most.
