FreeRent LA takes flight with the inaugural ‘Wings of Gratitude’ Charity Gala at the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills
On Saturday, September 27th, FreeRent LA hosted its inaugural gala, ‘Wings of Gratitude: A Night FreeRent LA Takes Flight,’ at the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills. The venue brought together local leaders, advocates, and donors to raise awareness and resources for hard-working families in need. Attendees rallied in support of FreeRent LA’s commitment to offering up to a year of rental assistance and wraparound services that provide a struggling household pathways toward long-term stability and housing security.
The esteemed guests had a splendid evening. They indulged in handcrafted cocktails, specialty hors d’oeuvres, live entertainment, and a real-time auction led by Mellisa Nielsen of Charity Angels. While learning about FreeRent LA’s mission statement and current directives, participants were informed about their sister chapter in Atlanta, FreeRent ATL.
FreeRent LA is part of the national FreeRent initiative, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting communities that contain working households that experience unexpected financial crises, such as eviction and housing instability.
