LOS ANGELES — Amidst the devastating wildfires sweeping through Los Angeles,
rapper Snoop Dogg has stepped forward to support those affected.
Snoop Dogg's Clothing store has announced that it would
offer free clothing to help rebuild lives of those affected, reports
aceshowbiz.com.
"We are devastated and send our condolences to those
who have been affected by these fires," the store's Instagram post read.
"Please stop by and pick up some clothing that we have
available to get you and your family through these trying times free of
charge."
The free clothing was available on January 10, from 11 a.m.
to 7 p.m. at the store.
Snoop Dogg's initiative is part of a broader community
effort to support wildfire victims. Over 180,000 people have been evacuated,
and local businesses and public figures have rallied to provide relief.
Other organizations accepting donations include SPACE(S) by
Bricks and Wood, which opened a temporary donation center at 4571 W. Washington
Blvd. in Los Angeles. The center accepted clothing donations from Friday
through Sunday.
In addition to his clothing distribution, Snoop Dogg also
highlighted other businesses and individuals providing support, urging his
followers to share additional resources and donation centers.
A massive wildfire took over Los Angeles on January 7, 2025,
forcing above 30,000 residents to leave the place. Numerous videos of the fire
have been doing rounds on social media, leaving everyone concerned. Meanwhile,
California Governor Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency in Los
Angeles.
At least 16 have been confirmed dead and over 12,000
structures have been damaged and destroyed in the raging Los Angeles wildfires
that started last week.
The authorities have warned that conditions are expected to
worsen in the coming days as devastating wildfires continue to rage across
different parts of Los Angeles County, leading to widespread disruptions,
including school closures and the cancellation of entertainment, sports, and
community events.
The Los Angeles Unified School District, the second-largest
public school district in the United States, closed schools on Thursday and
Friday to fend students and staff from hazardous air quality. Superintendent
Alberto Carvalho emphasised that travelling to school posed greater risks than
staying at home, particularly for children with respiratory conditions.
