14 days. 87 locations. 5,000+ families.
Within 72 hours of the Palisades and Eaton fires, IBTU activated an emergency distribution network across 87+ locations throughout Los Angeles. 1,800+ volunteers were deployed in the first two weeks. 15,000+ meals served. 5,000+ families stabilized — not with handouts, but with infrastructure built to last.
The Hub. Permanent infrastructure.
IBTU opened the Relief Resource Hub at Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza — a permanent, community-led recovery center with 15+ partner services under one roof. Case management, dental, vision, mental health, food assistance, legal aid, housing navigation, and immigration support. Not temporary. Not a popup. Built to stay.
From emergency response to community center.
The Hub is evolving into a permanent all-crisis community center — infrastructure that serves Los Angeles not just during the next disaster, but every single day in between. The model IBTU built in weeks is becoming the blueprint for community-led recovery nationwide.
