Los Angeles county is presently being severely affected by a fast-moving and devastating wildfire, destroying homes and vegetation in the Pacific Palisades, Malibu, and into Santa Monica. Tens of thousands of people have been evacuated, with Governor Newsom declaring a state of emergency. Thousands of homes are at risk due to the quick spreading fire, carried by the Santa Ana winds. Our GEM Bstrong USA West branch will be deploying to the area to support those affected with critical necessities. #palisadesfires @stableroadfoundation @bethennyfrankel

The 14th Annual Ridge Kids Christmas: A Resounding Success
Our GEM USA West team truly went above and beyond, closing out the year with an unforgettable celebration. This year’s event welcomed an incredible 2,653 attendees, with over 1,500 children and teens receiving gifts.
Thanks to smart partnerships with @good360usa, @hasbro, #TzuChiFoundation, #Poptastic #FeatherRiverHealthFoundation, and St. John’s Episcopal Church, we were able to create a magical experience. From a vibrant venue and generous giveaways to conga lines, drummers, live entertainment, Santa and friends, delicious food and treats, and stunning arrangements, every detail came together to serve our North State fire families — from the devastating Camp Fire to the recent Park Fire.
This event wasn’t just about gifts; it was about hope and empowerment. Together, we danced, prayed, and celebrated the resilience of our community. We shared light, love, and joy, showing that even in the aftermath of disaster, there is strength in unity and action.
Our teams are trained to listen, respond, and uplift. This event is a testament to the power of compassion and collaboration. Through every tear and every challenge, we remain committed to empowering our communities and reminding them they are never alone.
This is what true empowerment looks like. #Holidays2024 #Hope #Empowerment #CampFire #ParkFire

As 2024 comes to a close, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to every single one of you who supported GEM’s mission this year.
This year was filled with challenges — natural and man-made disasters impacted countless communities worldwide. Yet, through it all, one thing remained constant: GEM’s unwavering commitment to delivering aid swiftly and effectively. Our mission is clear: to reach the most people, with the most aid, in the shortest amount of time, and at the lowest cost to you, our valued donors.
In 2024, we distributed over $160 million in supplies and innovative programs across the globe. With 370 missions spanning 69 countries, GEM’s reach has grown like never before.
We’re excited to share our 2024 recap video, highlighting the impact of your generosity. None of this would be possible without you. As we look ahead, we invite you to support our 2024 Year-End Campaign, honoring the lives touched by our collective efforts this year.
Thanks to your contributions, GEM continues to prove that more impact is possible with less cost to donors. We’re proud to maintain a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator in all categories—Impact, Financial, Leadership, and Culture.
The need for global relief is greater than ever, and GEM is committed to expanding our reach to help even more people in more places. With your ongoing support, we will continue delivering critical aid efficiently, with less than 3.5% corporate overhead.

Last night, GEM USA West reached a truly humbling milestone — over 1,000 individuals were served during the San Diego Flood Recovery Christmas. More than 500 children received multiple gifts and, most importantly, experienced the magic and joy of Christmas during what has been such a challenging year for so many. This would not have been possible without the incredible efforts of the San Diego VOAD, the Long-Term Recovery Group (LTRG), and dedicated Disaster Case Managers (DCMs) who reached out to families in need, helping to rebuild not just homes, but hearts. These partnerships and collaborations remind us of the power of community. Also, in attendance was GEM’s Executive Board Chair, Bash Kazi @bashkazi
A heartfelt thank you to Jireh Providers, @good360usa, @hasbro, San Diego County, and all the amazing organizations that have committed to supporting families devastated by the 2024 floods. Together, you’ve turned hardship into hope and brought light to so many lives this holiday season. This is the spirit of Christmas in action. Thank you for making miracles happen.

Today our GEM Exec team visited a window factory in the Kyiv region that manufactures windows for the GEM HGBF window replacement program. To date, 213,249 windows have been replaced across Ukraine, benefiting over 600,000 people and helping them avoid becoming internally displaced persons (IDPs). This window program has also created over 500 Ukrainian jobs.
