Directly Support Wildfire Relief Efforts in Los Angeles with your Next Bite

It’s been over two weeks since the wildfires broke out in Los Angeles, and if you haven’t been directly affected yourself, perhaps you’re wondering how you can help. Well, what if I were to tell you that your next bite can directly support wildfire relief efforts plus give a little extra love to the struggling restaurant business at no cost to you? Read on for the list of restaurants that are giving a portion of their sales back to the community.

Dine LA Restaurant Week

From January 24th through February 7th, you can enjoy a prix-fixe at some sometimes friendly pricing at over 300 restaurants in Los Angeles for Dine LA. Lunches and Dinners begin at just $15! $5 from each reservation will be donated on your behalf to the American Red Cross courtesy of the LA Tourism Board and then matched by the Banc of California up to $100,000. That’s $10 made on one reservation where you may just pay $15 for a full meal.

I always love to squeeze the juice out of every deal, and these are the ones worth making lemonade with this season.

In Beverly Hills, The Hideaway is offering a 3-course Lunch plus Amuse for just $25! That includes a Guacamole for the table, a choice of Empanadas or Bocaditos, main course offerings that include Short Rib Enchiladas and Fish Tacos, and a Flan for dessert. Dinner is $65 and includes Cava and additional menu choices. Reserve here.

Next, in Burbank, I’m loving Yakumi which does delicious and high quality sushi boxes. During Dine LA they are offering two pieces of Big Eye Tuna, Yellowtail, Salmon, Albacore, and Shrimp, plus Edamame, two additional Classic Rolls, Salad and a Mango Lychee Martini, all for only $25! No reservations needed.

If you’re in West Hollywood, enjoy a seat in the maritime classic that is Connie & Ted’s. A 3-course Lunch including Half a Dozen Oysters, a Deep Fried Cod Sandwich with Sides, and a Freshly Baked Chocolate Chip Cookie is $35. Dinner steps it up a notch with a Lobster Roll and additional menu items beginning at $55.

Just a Little Fundraiser (West Hollywood)

Koi Restaurant in West Hollywood and NYC are inviting guests to enjoy “Just a Little” Shot for $5. 100% of the proceeds will be used to support wildfire relief efforts. While you’re there, sample some of their classic dishes from the early 2000s including Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna & Truffle Avocado.

Pineapple Upside Down Pancakes (Breakfast Republic)

San Diego staple Breakfast Republic is helping to turn things around with some Pineapple Upside Down Pancakes. Visit one of their locations in Echo Park, Culver City, and West Hollywood for a stack of brown-sugar pineapple heaven and 100% of sales will go to benefit the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. This sweet promotion is on until April 30th, 2025.

The Slice & Pint Fundraiser (South Bay)

Visit The Slice & Pint January 25th and 26th to give back to the youth of the neighborhood. $10 from every The Slice & Pint Anniversary Pie and specialty Tartiflette Pizza with white sauce and duck confit will be donated to non-profit youth sports and recreation organizations in the areas affected by the wildfires. Pair that with a new Spark Plug Light IPA and you’ve got yourself a weekend.

There’s also an opportunity to donate lightly used sports equipment and uniforms at GirlTalk just down the alley, which if you have kids, are probably piled up in your garage, aching for a new home.

Best of all El Segundo Brewing Company and The Slice & Pint will be matching all donations made at their three locations in the South Bay over the weekend, up to $10,000.

Heart-Shaped Crunchy French Toast (Blu Jam Cafe)

Beloved breakfast spot Blu Jam Café is adding a little extra love to their Crunchy French Toast. Delight in the new Heart-Shaped Crunchy French Toast with whipped cream cheese, strawberry jam, berries, and signature vanilla sauce all through February. $2 from every item sold will be donated to the California Wildfire Relief Fund.

Meal Donation Match (Starbird)

Healthy fast-casual restaurant Starbird is making it easy to support the Los Angeles Fire Department by feeding them well. Just place an order on their app or website and choose to add on a $10 Meal Donation for the LAFD. Starbird will then match each donation with an additional meal which will be delivered over the next few weeks.
