Southern California continues to face a devastating wildfire crisis, with many families losing their homes and, tragically, even lives. Firefighters are tirelessly working on the front lines to save lives and protect communities, often putting themselves at great personal risk. Amid this crisis, the community has come together in remarkable ways, offering support to both those affected and the first responders.
One way local businesses are stepping up is by providing free meals to firefighters and residents displaced by the wildfires. Across Los Angeles County, many restaurants are showing their gratitude and solidarity by offering food and resources to those in need.
We’ve compiled a list of outstanding restaurants offering free meals to help those impacted by the wildfires. If you know of additional businesses supporting the community, let us know so we can update the list and keep spreading the word. Together, we can make a difference during this challenging time.
This list will continue to be updated as more restaurants join in supporting the community. Please check with the restaurants for hours of operation and more information. Email Sophie.Len@feverup.com for any restaurants that should be added.
