Halle Berry, Sharon Stone and Michelle Pfeiffer are doing their part when it comes to lending a helping hand during the devastating California wildfires.
After thousands of houses burned and many more people were evacuated from their homes from areas all over Los Angeles this week, Stone, 66, shared a post via her Instagram on Wednesday, January 8, calling for clothing donations.
Sharing a clip that shows distribution center The Coop on Beverly Boulevard, Los Angeles, Stone urged her followers to follow her lead in donating “gently used” clothing for “people who have been displaced and affected by the fires.” She added that those who have been affected are welcome to “shop” at The Coop for clothing.
Berry, 58, heeded the call and reposted the clip via her own Instagram account, announcing she would also pitch in with donations.

She added, “If you need things, come to The Coop. This is for people who need any of these things, please come there. This is where you can get them, it’s a distribution center.”
Stone revealed she was also rolling up her sleeves to offer assistance in other ways, including opening her doors to displaced friends.
“I’ve been taking friends into my home. I have families coming now to move in with us. We’re setting up a place to be able to help people. We’re setting up beds and just room in the house,” Stone said. “We’re loading up trucks and taking everything we have over to The Coop, and we’re inviting our friends over to move in with us here. Lot of people are being evacuated.”
