Singer and actress Jennifer Lopez has compassionately supported victims of the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles, California, by donating clothes and shoes to those displaced by the disaster.
These donations are personal, as the Bronx Diva contributed items directly from her own collection, according to reports from the Daily Mail.
A source disclosed to the outlet that “she packed clothes from her closet and storage into boxes and had them loaded onto a truck.”
The items donated include comfortable garments, hoodies, jeans, and various everyday necessities.
Included in JLo’s donations: footwear and beauty essentials
The source added, “She donated sneakers, sweaters, and jackets, ideal for the colder season. Having collected clothes over the past 30 years, she had a large selection to offer.” This donation initiative started last week and remains ongoing.
Additionally, JLo has included packages from her JLo brand beauty line, offering cleansing and moisturizing products in her donation.
While the specifics of the donation amount remain undisclosed, it’s anticipated to be significant given the singer’s taste for high-quality items.
The donated clothing primarily targets students, educators, and families within the Los Angeles and Pasadena school districts.
Jennifer Lopez stands with affected communities
The marketing agency, The A-List, is coordinating the distribution of the donations.
Expressions of solidarity from JLo began last week, as she urged individuals affected by the fires to reach out to Boys and Girls Clubs, a nonprofit organization offering support.
Her message on Instagram conveyed: “My heart goes out to anyone suffering from the catastrophic wildfires in Los Angeles. It’s unimaginable how traumatic these experiences can be, especially for children who have lost their homes. In trying times, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Los Angeles are here to help provide resources and a safe haven for families in distress,” reaching an audience of 249 million followers.
The fires ignited on January 7 in Pacific Palisades, rapidly worsening due to strong Santa Ana winds, and affecting multiple areas. So far, officials have reported 24 fatalities and 13 individuals missing.
