When the Southern California wildfires swept through communities, first responders were there, risking everything to protect lives and homes. But after the flames were out, these heroes and their families often faced their own struggles to recover. That’s why Good360 made it a priority to support Southern California wildfire recovery, focusing on those who served on the front lines. 

Providing Relief for First Responder Families 

Good360 partnered with Amazon and the First Responders Children’s Foundation (FRCF) to make sure first responder families received meaningful support. At the Los Angeles First Responder Family Appreciation Day, families gathered for a day of food, games, and connection. But beyond the festivities, the event offered much-needed relief. 

Thanks to our generous corporate partners, first responder families received essential household supplies, clothing, and toys, helping ease the burden of rebuilding after the wildfires. 

A Reminder That Heroes Are Not Forgotten 

For many families, these donations were more than just items. They were a sign that their sacrifices hadn’t gone unnoticed. As one firefighter’s wife shared: 

“My husband gave everything to protect our community during the fires. Seeing the support for our family now means the world. It’s been a long road, but moments like this make it easier.” 

Committed to Long-Term Wildfire Recovery in Southern California 

At Good360, our work doesn’t end when the disaster fades from the headlines. We’re dedicated to long-term Southern California wildfire recovery, ensuring first responders and their communities have the resources they need to truly rebuild their lives. 

Through ongoing partnerships with organizations like Amazon and FRCF, we continue to stand by first responders. Recovery takes time, and no hero should have to navigate it alone.

Alexandria, VA (July 7, 2025)— Today marks six months since the devastating wildfires swept through Southern California, including the historic Eaton and Palisades Fires—now ranked among the most destructive in the state’s history.  

In response, Good360 swiftly mobilized its national network to deliver over 4,000 pallets of essential goods—valued at more than $55 million—providing immediate relief and laying the groundwork for long-term recovery for nearly 280,000 people across Los Angeles County and beyond. 

Through partnerships with local organizations such as CityServe Network, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles, and the BeyGOOD Foundation, Good360 has supported thousands of individuals with vital goods and services.  

Together, we’ve distributed critical supplies—from bottled water and hygiene products to furniture and baby items—while also facilitating mental health and other essential services. 

Our collaboration with BeyGOOD brought critical aid to 300 families in Altadena and Pasadena, and a large-scale event at Dodger Stadium with the First Responders Children’s Foundation delivered over $1.5 million in goods to 1,500 first responders and their families. 

As the region transitions from emergency relief to rebuilding, Good360 remains deeply committed to supporting families for the long haul.  

Good360 continues to address the most requested needs—tools, building materials, furniture, bedding, and baby essentials—while expanding logistics support and strengthening relationships with community-based organizations.  

“Six months on, our focus remains on helping families rebuild with dignity. Our mission is clear: to ensure that no family is left behind in the journey to rebuild and recover,” said Cinira Baldi, CEO, Good360.

As Maui continues its journey toward rebuilding, Good360 remains committed to supporting residents through every stage of recovery. In partnership with our nonprofit network, we are addressing critical product gaps and ensuring that communities receive the right goods at the right time. Our long-term recovery efforts have provided essential supplies—including mattresses, furniture, and household kits—to help families transition into stable housing. Recovering from a disaster of this magnitude is a complex, ongoing process, but by focusing on long-term needs, Good360 and our partners are helping Maui rebuild stronger and more resilient than before.

In the aftermath of a disaster, immediate needs like water and emergency supplies are critical, but as recovery progresses, those needs evolve. As Maui continues its long-term rebuilding, securing communities has become a top priority. After the wildfires damaged essential security infrastructure, Good360 partnered with Lahaina Strong to provide much-needed security equipment, helping to safeguard rebuilding efforts.

    Between March 13 – 16, a powerful weather system tore through the Midwest, South-Central, and Southeast U.S., bringing high winds, wildfires, and a devastating tornado outbreak. Communities across 13 states, including Arkansas, Alabama, Kansas, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Texas, experienced widespread destruction.

    More than 90 confirmed tornadoes swept through the region, resulting in over 40 fatalities and countless homes and businesses damaged. Arkansas was hit particularly hard by two EF-4 tornadoes, with wind speeds reaching 170 MPH. Additionally, at least ten EF-3 tornadoes, more than two dozen EF-2, and 36 EF-1 twisters left severe to moderate destruction in their wake. As the storms moved east, thousands lost power, and today, approximately 15,900 outages remain.

    In Oklahoma, wildfires erupted across 44 counties, destroying more than 400 homes and leading to over 200 injuries and at least four fatalities. Emergency declarations remain in place for Cleveland, Creek, Dewey, Grady, Lincoln, Logan, Oklahoma, Pawnee, Payne, Pottawatomie, Roger Mills, and Stephens counties. A Fire Management Assistance Declaration has been submitted to support relief efforts, and a fire weather warning remains active through 10 PM ET today.

    • More than 40 deaths attributed to this extreme weather system.
    • A State of Emergency declared in Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, Missouri, and Oklahoma.

    Alexandria, VA – February 24, 2025 – Good360, the global leader in product philanthropy and purposeful giving, is proud to partner with Amazon to support the First Responders Children’s Foundation (FRCF) in honoring the first responders who bravely battled the recent Southern California wildfires. As part of disaster relief and a long-term recovery effort, Good360 and Amazon will provide essential goods to first responder families at the Los Angeles First Responder Family Appreciation Day, taking place on Tuesday, February 25, 2025.

    This special event, hosted by FRCF, will recognize the thousands of firefighters, police officers, EMTs, and other first responders who put their lives on the line to protect Southern California communities. Families will enjoy an afternoon of activities, games, food, and music while also receiving much-needed essential supplies, clothing, footwear, and toys—all generously donated by corporate partners, including Amazon and Good360.

    Through this collaboration, Good360 is working with eight corporate donors as part of a long-term recovery strategy in the region. The event represents just one facet of an ongoing initiative to provide relief and support to those affected by wildfires, ensuring communities have the resources they need to rebuild and recover.

    FRCF First Responder Family Appreciation Day is a reminder that even those who serve and protect us need support in times of crisis,” said Cinira Baldi, CEO of Good360. “We are committed to standing by first responders and their families throughout the recovery process, and this event is just one step in a much larger effort to provide essential aid and resources for years to come.”

    As part of this initiative, Amazon and Good360 will distribute 20 pallets of essential goods—including towels, kitchenware, and household supplies—providing direct relief to hundreds of first responder families.

    “We’re deeply grateful to the first responders who have shown extraordinary bravery during the Southern California wildfires,” said David Ambroz, Amazon’s Senior Manager of Community Engagement and Public Policy. “Our partnership with Good360 allows us to support first responders and their families, combining our resources to provide immediate relief.”  

    Amazon’s commitment to disaster relief extends beyond this event. The company committed $10 million to wildfire relief efforts across Southern California. Through its newly activated Wildfire Disaster Relief Hub in Beaumont, and support across its logistics network, Amazon has donated over 500,000 essential items to 29 local relief organizations, including Good360.

    Alexandria, VA, February 4, 2025– As football fans gear up for the Super Bowl, Good360 and the National Football League (NFL) mark the 11th year of collaboration to ensure unsellable apparel from AFC and NFC Championship games and the Super Bowl finds a meaningful purpose. These items, which cannot be sold due to the outcome of the games, are responsibly distributed to nonprofit organizations globally, furthering Good360’s mission to create a sustainable and impactful future.

    “At Good360, we believe in the power of partnerships to create lasting change,” said Cinira Baldi, CEO of Good360. “Whether it’s responsibly distributing apparel with the NFL, activating in areas impacted by natural disasters, or providing critical supplies to communities in need, our mission is to ensure that donated products serve a meaningful purpose. Together with corporate donors and nonprofit partners, we are driving sustainability, meeting urgent needs, and building resilience for a better future.”

    How It Works

    Good360 receives unsellable NFL apparel such as t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, and towels. These items are distributed to vetted nonprofit organizations in areas of need worldwide, including Ukraine, Mongolia, Georgia, Estonia, and Latvia.

    Key aspects of the program include:

    • Responsible Distribution: Good360 carefully selects nonprofit partners to ensure that donations do not disrupt local economies and are directed to areas of greatest need.
    • Brand Protection: A rigorous vetting process ensures that donated items are never sold, maintaining brand integrity.
    • Global Impact: Thousands of items are distributed annually, providing much-needed clothing to underserved communities while reducing waste.

    This collaboration with the NFL highlights Good360’s broader mission to address critical needs globally. From its disaster recovery efforts—such as providing over $9.9 million in supplies to communities affected by the California wildfires—to its partnerships with up to 100,000 nonprofit organizations, Good360 has made an indelible impact on the lives of millions over the last 41 years.

    A Commitment to Sustainability

    Good360’s approach to product philanthropy ensures that surplus goods from corporate partners, like the NFL, serve a higher purpose. By partnering with the NFL to turn unsellable items into resources for communities in need, this collaboration demonstrates a commitment to sustainability, reducing waste, and fostering global resilience.

    “Another Super Bowl marks another opportunity for the NFL to collaborate with Good360 to create real impact by donating goods to those in need,” said Anna Isaacson, SVP of Social Responsibility at the NFL. “By turning surplus into support, the NFL can reduce waste while maximizing social good.”
