“Many people across LA are looking for ways to help and are making online donations to the American Red
Cross or various Relief Funds. We want to bring the community together and give them an opportunity to help in a different way, so we’re filling up a truck with your donations and have partnered with the right people on the ground to drive it into the greater Houston area,” #LATruck4Houston project organizer Vladillen Gonzalez, a former Marine and resident of Los Angeles said in a statement.

The community members who donate to the #LATruck4Houston project will be able to track the supplies via social media as they make their way to the Houston area and into the hands of victims.

way to help, and offer a more tangible way to connect with those in need,” said project organizer Florence

personalized note cards and supplies as a way to show support for Texas as a family.”
