To Our Valued Customers,

As we continue to support our communities in the wake of the devastating wildfires, our thoughts remain with everyone affected by these tragedies.

To support those in need, Gelson’s has launched a wildfire relief donation program. You can contribute in any amount—$1, $5, $10, or more—by letting your checker know at checkout. 100% of your donation will go directly to relief efforts in Los Angeles communities. Gelson’s will match donations up to $50,000, doubling the impact of your generosity.

We also want to acknowledge our Gelson’s team members, who have gone above and beyond to support both their coworkers and the communities we serve. Their hard work and dedication during this difficult time are deeply appreciated.

As always, we remain steadfast in standing alongside our employees, customers, and neighbors to rebuild and recover. Thank you for joining us in making a difference and helping our communities move forward.

Sincerely,

To Our Valued Customers,

The wildfires affecting our region have brought devastating loss and disruption to our communities. With a heavy heart, we share that our Palisades store has been completely lost to the fires. This store was more than just a place to shop—it was a cornerstone of the community, and we grieve this loss alongside the team members, customers, and neighbors who called it their own.

Now that mandatory evacuation has been lifted in La Cañada, our La Cañada store is open to serve our community. We are deeply grateful to all the first responders who bravely fought against the Eaton fire, ensuring the safety of our community and our store. Additionally, we are extraordinarily thankful to report that our Calabasas store has reopened and is ready to serve our community.

Our thoughts are with everyone affected by these tragedies. We are committed to supporting our employees during this challenging time, ensuring they have access to resources and aid as they navigate their own hardships.

As a company deeply rooted in the communities we serve, we are committed to exploring every avenue to assist in recovery efforts. We will stand with our neighbors, supporting and working together to rebuild what has been lost.

Thank you for your understanding and patience as we navigate this difficult time. Your support means everything to us, and we are hopeful for the future as we work together to rebuild and recover. We will keep you updated as the situation evolves.

Ryan Adams
Gelson’s President and CEO
