As our city continues to battle wildfires in various neighborhoods, we continue to gather local resources to help with the essentials your family might need.
Free grocery deliveries
Gelson’s has partnered with Instacart to provide free grocery delivery citywide. Visit shop.gelsons.com and use code GELSONSDELIVERS at checkout. The code can be used up to three times per customer and is valid exclusively for online grocery shopping at shop.gelsons.com. Offer expires on Jan. 31.
Free baby cribs
Babyletto, the LA-based nursery furniture brand, is extending support to families impacted by the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles. To assist those who have lost a crib in the fires, Babyletto is offering free replacement cribs. Reach out directly by emailing info@babyletto.com.
Donated strollers and car seats
Global child safety brand CYBEX is donating strollers and car seats to families and caregivers in need. As long as supplies last, families can claim available products — including full-size strollers (with compatible carry cots for newborns) and convertible car seats — through an online form.
The program is designed to provide essential baby gear quickly, with shipments scheduled weekly to meet the needs of impacted families. To participate, families can complete the form via this link with their information and product needs. CYBEX encourages those in the L.A. area to help spread the word, including via social media and local networks, to ensure the donations reach as many families as possible. For updates and additional information, follow CYBEX on social media at @cybex_usa.
