LA County Wildfires. To help please donate.
LA County Wildfires 2-Week Recap: In the wake of devastating wildfires, our GEM BStrong teams were on the ground within 48 hours, delivering immediate relief. Families have lost homes, their personal belongings, and most of all security, and stability.
We continue to distribute Family Necessity Kits, food, water, hygiene products, cleaning supplies, PPE, and more. Partnering with Chef Cat Cora, we’ve served thousands of Chef-driven prepared meals to evacuees and survivors. Through our BStrong cash card program, we’re providing financial aid for immediate essentials like gas, groceries, and clothing.
We’re still actively supporting shelters, evacuation centers, and first responders with critical supplies. To assist displaced families, we’ve launched a short-term rental assistance program, helping them in securing temporary housing. Additionally, our Tool Replacement Initiative is helping skilled workers replace lost equipment and rebuild their small businesses and livelihoods.
Recovery will take time, but we are committed to uplift and empower these communities as they rebuild their lives.

North Carolina Update: When Hurricane Helene swept through Western North Carolina 4 months ago, it left behind widespread devastation, impacting both the lives of residents and the region’s cultural legacy. #GEM #BStrong immediately mobilized.
Since then, we’ve remained committed to supporting recovery efforts in the region. To date, 23 trucks filled with vital resources have been delivered, and over 150 Starlink kits have been distributed to rural areas and first responders to restore connectivity. Through our partnership with Airbnb.org, we provided temporary housing for displaced families. Additionally, we have completed more than 30 helicopter missions to deliver supplies and assist with evacuations. In addition, we’ve supplied 28 skilled tradespeople with new tools to rebuild their livelihoods.
One of our most meaningful initiatives has been the Small Business & Artisan Relief Fund, which helps local entrepreneurs and artists recover from the storm’s destruction. So far, we’ve awarded grants to 79 businesses, funding essential needs such as relocating, rebuilding, and replacing equipment. These grants are making a lasting difference in the WNC community.

Chef @catcora joined forces with #GEM #BStrong to deliver fresh, chef-driven, nutritious meals for individuals and families who lost their homes in the LA County Wildfires. Through her partnership with @cookunity she is ensuring that those affected by the wildfires have access to fresh, prepared meals.
In 2004, Cat founded @chefsforhumanity one of the first chef-driven organizations focused on disaster response, hunger relief, and nutrition education. She received the Lifetime Achievement Award and Volunteer Service Award from President Obama.
Cat’s dedication to disaster response through food underscores the power of culinary talent in times of crisis. Cat Cora is a trailblazer in the culinary world, breaking barriers as the first female Iron Chef and the first woman inducted into the Culinary Hall of Fame. #gem #bstrong #catcora #cookunity #chefsforhumanity

In September 2024, Hurricane Helene caused extreme devastation across Western North Carolina, deeply impacting the region’s communities and its rich cultural heritage. GEM & BStrong responded immediately, and was the first organization to deliver semi-trucks full of essential supplies into Asheville.
To date, #GEM & #BStrong have sent 23 semi-trucks of aid to the area, equipped 28 tradespeople with brand-new tools, distributed over 150 Starlinks to rural communities and first responders, provided short-term housing through Airbnb.org, and conducted over 30 helicopter missions for distributions and evacuations. One of our most impactful initiatives, though, has been the Small Business & Artisan Relief Fund, which has awarded grants to dozens of local business owners and artists to help them rebuild and recover. These grants have supported needs such as relocation assistance, rebuilding and construction, purchasing new equipment, and more. So far, we’ve issued grants to 71 businesses, with additional support being awarded weekly.
GEM & BStrong remain on the ground in Western North Carolina, working diligently to empower and support all those affected by Hurricane Helene. We ❤️ these North Carolina Communities and will continue to stand with them while they recover. #DavidNicoleTepperFoundation @bethennyfrankel #BStrong
