The devastating fires in Los Angeles have displaced and left many without homes or basic lifestyle necessities, including losing access to essential personal care items. This drive will focus on collecting and delivering new and unused toiletries, cosmetics, and other essential supplies to restore dignity and provide much-needed relief to those impacted.

"Our hearts go out to the Los Angeles community affected by the devastating wildfires, and we stand ready to support relief efforts," said President of the Valkyries, Jess Smith. "The Valkyries organization is committed to being not just a sports franchise but a member of the broader California community, and by joining this initiative and establishing donation sites, we are taking concrete steps to support those affected during this challenging time alongside the women's sports community."

"Bay FC is dedicated to supporting our neighbors in southern California however we can during these unprecedented times," said Bay FC CEO Brady Stewart. "We are sending love and support to everyone impacted by these tragic wildfires in the Los Angeles community and are grateful for the first responders and their incredible efforts to help protect this heartbroken community."

In addition to the above, the Golden State Valkyries and Bay FC recently joined the Bay Area Host Committee in announcing support and individual contributions to various wildlife relief organizations including the American Red Cross and California Fire Foundation.

For individuals or organizations wishing to contribute, donations can be made by dropping off supplies at confirmed locations or through shipping donations directly to Deep Blue Sports + Entertainment (44 Wall Street, Floor 4, New York, NY 10005).
