For over 25 years, Paliskates has been more than just a skate shop in the Pacific Palisades, it’s been a space for community, creativity, and connection. As one of the longest-running female-owned skate shops in the country, Paliskates has helped shape generations of local skaters and families. After losing their storefront in the Palisades fire, the spirit behind the shop continues to move forward rooted in resilience and the community that has always supported it. 😎✨ #LARises #PacificPalisades #Paliskates #RebuildingTogether

Rebuilding Altadena means protecting more than structures, it means honoring the people, stories, and culture that make it home. The Los Angeles Conservancy (@LAConservancy) has received a $1.5 million grant from the Mellon Foundation (@MellonFdn ) to expand its Cultural Asset Mapping project, helping document Altadena’s landmarks, traditions, and lived experiences as part of long-term recovery. Efforts like this ensure that as Altadena rebuilds, its identity is protected and carried forward. 📰: @thelasentinel (lasentinel.net/largest-gift-i…) #LARises #Altadena #DenaStrong #CulturalPreservation #RebuildingTogether

Rebuilding doesn’t always start with walls, sometimes it starts with what’s still standing, what’s still growing, and who’s still there beside you 🌱 In Altadena, it’s the strength of friendship and community that continues to carry us forward and Margirit reminds us just how important that truly is 💛 #LARises #Altadena #DenaStrong #RebuildingTogether

A new foundation often begins with a single moment ✨ After months of uncertainty, putting the shovel in the dirt signals more than rebuilding, it’s a reminder that recovery in Altadena is powered by neighbors, leadership, and a community that continues to show up for one another 🫂 #LARises #Altadena #DenaStrong #RebuildingAltadena

Rebuilding starts with the right support. Our quick tutorial walks through the Builders Alliance portal, a tool that gathers vetted builders, home plans, and clear information in one place. It is meant to save time and reduce some of the stress that comes with tracking everything down yourself. Whether you are just starting or already deep in the process, you can use it to compare options, review pricing, and feel more confident in your next step.

From @latimes: After the 2025 fires, LA artist Evan Curtis Charles Hall salvaged six chimneys from destroyed homes to create a public memorial. These structures represent memory, resilience, and the communities rebuilding in Pacific Palisades and Malibu. Recovery means preserving history and supporting our neighbors for the long term. house.museum/Project-Chimney

Grateful for the L.A. Pizza Alliance and everyone choosing to show up for Los Angeles. Let’s keep supporting local and standing with one another as recovery continues. latimes.com/food/story/202… #WeShowUpForLA

From @breijOR_THEY @latimesfood: The L.A. Pizza Alliance is a powerful reminder of what community really means. When our neighborhoods needed care, they responded with generosity, collaboration, and heart.

It’s not about HOW you choose to show up, it’s about making the CHOICE to do it 💛 How do you show up for your community in times of need? Share with us in the comments, we’d love to hear 💭

“Showing up… it’s just what you do.” 🙏 That simple statement captures why being there for our neighbors matters so deeply. Showing up can look different for everyone, sometimes it’s providing a care package other times it’s simply being present when it’s needed most.

Architectural Digest @archdigest spotlighted the meaningful work happening with San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity @SGVHabitat and The Foothill Catalog Foundation to help people return home after last year’s wildfires. Many homes are already moving through approvals, with many more in progress.
