1-800-Packouts contributes to California Wildfire Relief Efforts with Matching Initiative

1-800-Packouts Matches Donations to Aid LA Fire Victims

In response to the devastating fires affecting those in the greater Los Angeles area, 1-800-Packouts, a national contents restoration company and Five Star Franchise brand, is matching donations dollar-for-dollar through a matching initiative on the company website. All proceeds will go toward assisting victims of the fires.

By participating in the initiative, donors can help families in the Los Angeles area rebuild, recover and restore peace of mind in the face of one of the costliest natural disasters in US history.

“Our hearts go out to those affected by the LA wildfires. We’re working hard to get involved with relief efforts,” said Stefan Figley, President of 1-800-Packouts. “By matching the generous donations of the 1-800-Packouts community, we hope to partner with local organizations in a way that helps make a positive impact the people affected by the fires.”

In addition to the matching fund, one of the local LA area locations, 1-800-Packouts of The Inland Empire, has partnered with Sandals Church to help with the recovery efforts in their community. The franchise is using their trucks and facilities to store, transport and hand out donations to the victims of the fires.

“I’m proud to see our team reach out to help the communities they live in and try to support folks who are having to face such a difficult situation,” Figley said. “We are thankful for our franchise owners, like Brandt Benson, who step into action when people around them are in need of aid.”

On Jan. 7-8, high winds fueled fires in the Pacific Palisades and Eaton neighborhoods near Los Angeles, burning more than 38,000 acres in Los Angeles County and displacing close to 200,000 residents.
