Wildfires in the Los Angeles area have burned tens of thousands of acres, damaged or destroyed thousands of structures, and forced people to evacuate across the region. The Palisades, Eaton, and Hurst fires broke out last week, followed by the Woodley, Lidia, Sunset, and Kenneth fires, all fueled by powerful winds. This devastation is close to our hearts as Flowz’s headquarters is based in Los Angeles.
While these fires have upended the lives of many, we at Flowz are fortunate to operate remotely and globally, ensuring business as usual for our clients. However, we remain deeply connected to our local community and are committed to supporting relief efforts. Here are some organizations making a difference and ways you can help:
