Instacart, one of the nation’s leading grocery delivery/pickup services, has partnered with the LA County Office of Education and LA Unified School District to launch the initiative, which uses Instacart’s Community Carts to deliver relief supplies to impacted schools.

Users can shop for as much or as little as they choose, and all delivery and service fees are waived. Orders are sent to a specific warehouse dedicated to Classroom Carts where they will be distributed.

As students and staff have been displaced for a month after the fires, Instacart hopes to highlight 28 participating schools as part of the program. To kickstart efforts, Instacart’s Board of Directors is donating $1 million to the Greater Los Angeles Education Foundation, LAUSD Foundation, and Pasadena Education Foundation
