After wildfires devastated the Los Angeles area, Carrier is helping to ensure a healthier recovery for essential workers, including first responders and their families, who bravely and tirelessly served residents following the disaster. Pallets stacked with donated Carrier indoor air purifiers – part of the company’s $2.5 million commitment – have been delivered and distributed to impacted communities. Thousands of units are already providing cleaner, healthier indoor air to local essential workers in Southern California – the everyday heroes who protect life, health and property.

 

Carrier collaborated with Good360, the country’s second largest charity, to distribute donated goods to organizations to support communities devastated by the wildfires in Los Angeles. This major initiative aligns with Carrier’s focus on communities where we live and work, relating to both humanitarian relief and healthy indoor environments advocacy.
