LA Together
In January 2025, as devastating fires swept through Los Angeles and surrounding areas, we witnessed both the heartbreaking impact of natural disaster and the incredible strength of our community coming together. As the national state of emergency was declared, we saw countless Angelenos asking the same questions: "How can I help?" and "Where can I find help?"
LA Together was born from this crucial moment, when we realized that our community needed more than just individual relief efforts – we needed a way to connect, coordinate, and support each other efficiently and effectively.
Bridging the Gap
We created LA Together as a digital bridge, connecting those who have resources with those who need them. Our platform serves as a central hub where:
- Community members can quickly find essential resources during crisis
- Local organizations can efficiently coordinate their relief efforts
- Volunteers can discover where their help is needed most
More Than Just an App
LA Together isn't just another app – it's a community-powered response to crisis. We built this platform with the understanding that recovery and healing happen through connection. Whether you're offering supplies, searching for assistance, or volunteering your time, LA Together provides the infrastructure to make these vital connections happen seamlessly.
Building Resilience Together
The January fires showed us that our community's greatest strength lies in our ability to support each other. LA Together transforms this spirit of mutual aid into practical action. By providing a platform where resources and needs can be matched quickly and effectively, we're helping our community to:
- Respond rapidly to emerging needs
- Coordinate relief efforts efficiently
- Build lasting connections between neighbors
- Strengthen our collective resilience for future challenges
Looking Forward
While LA Together was created in response to the fires, we envision it becoming a lasting tool for community resilience. Natural disasters may be inevitable, but by working together, we can ensure our community is better prepared, more connected, and stronger in the face of whatever challenges lie ahead.
Join us in building a more resilient Los Angeles. Whether you need help or can offer it, LA Together is here to connect you with your community.
