In a powerful demonstration of youth leadership meeting community need, Donating Simplified has partnered with Altadena Girls to deliver essential beauty and cosmetic supplies to teens affected by the recent Los Angeles wildfires.
Youth-Led Initiative Makes Major Impact
Founded by 14-year-old Avery Colvert, Altadena Girls represents the inspiring power of young people taking action in their community. When Avery saw how the Eaton Fire was affecting her peers, she created an organization specifically focused on helping teenage girls rebuild their lives and confidence after losing their homes.
Making a Difference One Pallet at a Time
Our recent donation to Altadena Girls included:
Four pallets of high-quality cosmetics and beauty supplies
$420,000 worth of products
Support for 1,100 wildfire-affected individuals
3,100 pounds of product rescued from landfill disposal
Beyond Basic Needs
While disaster relief often focuses on immediate necessities like food and shelter, Altadena Girls recognizes that teenagers face unique challenges during these difficult times. The donated cosmetics and beauty supplies help young people maintain a sense of normalcy and self-confidence while their families work to rebuild.
The Power of Youth Leadership
"Partnering with Altadena Girls shows how young leaders can create meaningful change in their communities," says Donating Simplified. "When Avery identified this specific need among her peers, she didn't wait for others to solve the problem – she stepped up to make a difference herself."
Multiple Impacts, One Solution
This partnership demonstrates how strategic donation management can create multiple positive outcomes:
Supporting young people during a challenging time
Empowering youth-led community initiatives
Preventing usable products from entering landfills
Converting excess inventory into meaningful impact

The success of this partnership highlights the importance of supporting youth-led initiatives in disaster relief efforts. Young leaders like Avery bring unique insights into their communities' needs and can create targeted, effective solutions when given proper support and resources.
