As the recovery effort continues in Los Angeles, Café Tropical remains a beacon of hope and support for those affected by the wildfires. The simple yet impactful act of providing a warm meal to those in need has brought together volunteers, community members, and local businesses in a powerful display of compassion and solidarity.
The team at Café Tropical, along with Feed the Streets, continues to work tirelessly to prepare and distribute meals to firefighters, evacuees, and families affected by the fires. Through their collective efforts, they have shown that a small restaurant can make a big impact in times of crisis.
For Café Tropical co-owner Danny Khorunzhiy, the outpouring of support and generosity from the Los Angeles community has been truly inspiring. “To see everybody band together, to see how much Angelenos care about other Angelenos is a really beautiful thing, and it makes me proud to be an Angeleno,” he says.

Amidst the devastating wildfires that have been raging through Altadena and the Palisades, one organization has been stepping up to provide support and relief to those affected. Feed the Streets, a local non-profit that focuses on feeding the homeless population, has extended their reach to assist evacuees and first responders during this crisis.
For Feed the Streets, their mission goes beyond just serving meals to those in need. As founder and CEO, Sarah Johnson, explains, “Feeding the homeless is what we do on a daily basis. But even though that is my exact job, all of that just serves to keep this place open.” The organization’s commitment to serving the community extends to providing aid during times of crisis, such as the wildfires that have displaced so many families.
When tragedy strikes, the sense of community in Altadena and the Palisades expands beyond its usual boundaries. Feed the Streets has been working tirelessly to provide evacuees with breakfast and dinner, as well as essential hygiene products and non-perishable items. Their efforts are aimed at supporting those who have been forced to flee their homes and ensuring that they have access to basic necessities during this challenging time.
But the work of Feed the Streets cannot continue without support from the community. The organization plans to assist evacuees for the next 60 to 90 days, and they rely on donations to fund their efforts. Those who wish to help can visit the Feed the Streets website and donate directly to support their mission of providing relief to those affected by the wildfires.
In times of crisis, it is heartwarming to see organizations like Feed the Streets stepping up to support their community in any way they can. Through their dedication and selfless efforts, they are making a real difference in the lives of those impacted by the wildfires in Altadena and the Palisades. One burrito at a time, they are bringing hope and relief to those in need.
