In November 2025, Ella’s Angels delivered 240 complete Thanksgiving meal bags to families in need across Los Angeles County. The program included sourcing groceries, coordinating volunteers, and managing multi-site distribution in partnership with local schools, churches, and community organizations. This initiative has become one of the signature annual events led entirely by youth.
