Highlights from 2025
Supporting Idia’s Community Kitchen
During Mental Health Awareness Week, Locala’s London team partnered with Grove Media and other media partners to volunteer at Idia’s Community Kitchen, an essential grassroots charity based in Hackney. Idia’s operates as a vital lifeline for the local area, providing hot meals, everyday necessities, and a safe, inclusive sanctuary for vulnerable populations, including the elderly, unhoused individuals, struggling families, and asylum seekers.
Our team had the humbling opportunity to assist with high-volume food preparation, inventory organization, and meal distribution. While our contribution was merely a glimpse into the organization’s daily operations, the experience highlighted the extraordinary impact of Aina and her dedicated volunteer team. We are deeply inspired by their unwavering commitment to ensuring that no one is turned away and no problem is deemed too small.
L.A. Relief
To aid the communities severely affected by the destructive wildfires in Southern California, Locala contributed with a donation to support emergency relief, rebuilding efforts, and those displaced by the crisis. Our contribution was part of a massive, rapid-response initiative spearheaded by Givsly.
When the fires devastated the area, Givsly immediately reached out to partners like us to coordinate relief. The collective impact was significant:
- Within just one week, 12 agencies and 14 media partners joined the cause.
- A nationwide donation bin campaign was launched, with 44 bins placed in offices across the country.
- 64 boxes of physical supplies were collected and sent directly to Los Angeles.
- A total of $49,708.34 was raised and distributed across six nonprofits aiding in relief efforts, as well as nine GoFundMe pages supporting minority families impacted by the fires.
