Meghan Markle donated clothes, beauty products, and lunch to teen girls affected by the LA fires, showing her support for the community.
On Monday, she volunteered with Altadena Teen Girls, a group started by 14-year-old Avery Colvert. Their mission? To help teenage girls who lost so much in the fires feel normal again.
Meghan showed up at a pop-up event in Boyle Heights, bringing bags of new clothes and beauty products. She even provided lunch for all the volunteers, which was super thoughtful.
While there, she chatted with families and helped the teens sort through donations. She kept a low profile, wearing all-black workout gear and an “LA” baseball cap.
The organization shared some behind-the-scenes clips on Instagram, showing Meghan with totes of donations. Avery, the founder, has a personal connection to the cause, as her school was destroyed in the fires.
She wants to help girls feel confident again by providing essentials like clothes and beauty products. It’s all about helping them thrive during tough times.
Meghan wasn’t alone in her efforts. Other celebrities like Paris Hilton and Mindy Kaling also pitched in. Plus, she and Prince Harry made a financial donation to support the cause.
The Altadena Teen Girls thanked their Archwell Foundation for the support. Last week, Meghan and Harry also teamed up with José Andrés’ World Central Kitchen to serve meals to first responders and victims.
They’ve been actively involved since the fires started on January 7, distributing food and essentials to those in need. Pasadena’s mayor noted how uplifting their presence was for the community.
While some have criticized them as “disaster tourists,” sources say their actions come from a place of genuine empathy. Meghan, being a local, feels a strong connection to the area.
They even opened their home to friends and family affected by the fires, showing their commitment to helping their community.
