Michelle Pfeiffer, Halle Berry and Sharon Stone are using their platform to aid those affected by the devastating California wildfires.
Michelle Pfeiffer, Halle Berry , and Sharon Stone are lending a helping hand during the devastating California wildfires. After thousands of houses burned and many more people were evacuated from their homes from areas all over Los Angeles this week, Stone, 66, shared a post via her Instagram on Wednesday, January 8, calling for clothing donations.
Sharing a clip that shows distribution center The Coop on Beverly Boulevard, Los Angeles, Stone urged her followers to follow her lead in donating “gently used” clothing for “people who have been displaced and affected by the fires.” She added that those who have been affected are welcome to “shop” at The Coop for clothing. Berry, 58, heeded the call and reposted the clip via her own Instagram account, announcing she would also pitch in with donations. “I’m packing up my entire closet and heading over to the COOP! If you live in the Southern California area, I urge you to do the same,” the actress captioned the post. “This is something we can do right now today to help all of the displaced families that are in need of the basics today! Thank you @sharonstone for your leadership. Love you Lady ❤️” In response, Pfeiffer, 66, expressed her desire to donate, asking in the comments section, “Can I do tomorrow?” Meanwhile, Stone appeared on NewsNation on Wednesday evening and shared further information about The Coop. “My sister and another publicist friend of ours opened a store, worked together with a store on Beverly Boulevard,” she said. “It’s called The Coop, so, if you have gently used clothes, shoes, bedding, anything that these disenfranchised people may need, please come immediately to The Coop, starting tomorrow morning, and you can drop them off.” She added, “If you need things, come to The Coop. This is for people who need any of these things, please come there. This is where you can get them, it’s a distribution center.” Stone revealed she was also rolling up her sleeves to offer assistance in other ways, including opening her doors to displaced friends. “I’ve been taking friends into my home. I have families coming now to move in with us. We’re setting up a place to be able to help people. We’re setting up beds and just room in the house,” Stone said. “We’re loading up trucks and taking everything we have over to The Coop, and we’re inviting our friends over to move in with us here. Lot of people are being evacuated.” An estimated 9000 homes have been damaged or destroyed in the fires, according to officials, reported The Guardian. Since Tuesday, the fires have ravaged parts of the exclusive Pacific Palisades area, Malibu, Santa Monica and the Hollywood Hills. Celebrities including Billy Crystal, Mandy Moore and Paris Hilton are among those who lost their homes due to the fires. Hollywood has also canceled a slew of events over the past few days including premieres for The Last Show Girl, Wolf Man and Jennifer Lopez’s Unstoppable and The Critics Choice awards, among others
