We are deeply committed to standing with our communities during these devastating times as our hometown of Los Angeles continues to recover from the wildfires. 💙

Community is at the heart of everything we do and feel a profound responsibility to step up for the neighborhoods we serve. In collaboration with YMCA Metro LA, WSS Cares! launched relief efforts to provide vital resources to families impacted by the fires.

Through our donation drive, WSS locations across LA have collected gently used shoes, clothing, and unopened bottled water. Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of our customers and employees, we’ve already reached our goal, gathering hundreds of totes filled with essentials. We are deeply grateful to everyone who contributed to this effort.

Beyond community donations, WSS has contributed thousands of new merchandise items and made monetary donations to YMCA Metro LA and the LA Fire Foundation to support families in need. Recognizing the impact on pets, WSS has also provided monetary support and essential supplies to local animal shelters and rescue organizations. These efforts are further strengthened by the generosity of our brand partners, who contributed new sneakers to help children affected by the fires. Together with YMCA Metro LA and our partners, this is just the beginning of our commitment to providing meaningful relief to those in need.

In support of our everyday heroes, WSS has also opened Police Rooms at key Los Angeles locations, offering local firefighters a safe place to rest and recharge between calls.

We are endlessly grateful to our customers, employees, and partners for coming together to support our neighbors. Let’s continue to show the true power of community. 💪
