GigaCloud Technology Inc (Nasdaq: GCT)
(“GigaCloud” or the “Company”), a pioneer of global end-to-end B2B
ecommerce technology solutions for large parcel merchandise, today
announced it is donating more than $1 million in home furnishings
to Habitat for Humanity Greater Los Angeles to support the ReBUILD
LA™ Wildfire Recovery campaign. The donation will directly benefit
families who have lost their homes, helping them rebuild their
lives with dignity and comfort.
“Los Angeles is our home, and when people in our community lose
their homes in disasters like wildfires, it impacts all of us,”
said Larry Wu, Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer. “We
are committed to doing everything in our power to help families
rebuild their lives with dignity and comfort. Through our donation
of over $1 million worth of furniture to Habitat for Humanity
Greater Los Angeles, we aim to provide essential home furnishings
and restore a sense of normalcy for those who have lost so much.
GigaCloud stands with our community—as neighbors and as a company
that cares.”
GigaCloud’s donation includes nearly 90 SKUs totaling over 5,000
items, featuring a diverse range of indoor living furniture such as
beds, mattresses, sofas, and chairs. The contribution also includes
a significant number of ottomans and dressers, ensuring a wide
variety of pieces to enhance functionality.
Recognizing that mattresses were among the most urgently needed
items and that they were not in stock at the time, the Company took
action by reaching out to Restonic—a leading mattress supplier and
recently onboarded GigaCloud B2B Marketplace seller—to purchase
$150,000 worth of mattresses specifically for donation.
“When GigaCloud reached out to us about the urgent need for
mattresses among those impacted by the wildfire, their dedication
to truly helping the community was evident,” said Laurie Tokarz,
President of Restonic. “Instead of simply donating what was
available, they made it a priority to source exactly what families
needed most. At Restonic, providing comfort and support is at the
heart of what we do, and we are honored to partner with GigaCloud
and Habitat for Humanity Greater Los Angeles to help families
rebuild their homes and lives.”
GigaCloud’s deep ties to the Los Angeles community extend beyond
this initiative. Under the leadership of Wu, who was recognized as
an Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2024 Greater Los Angeles Award winner
by Ernst & Young LLP in 2024, the Company has consistently
supported local causes, including ongoing donations to City of Hope
and other community initiatives.
The ReBUILD LA™ Wildfire Recovery campaign was created to
support uninsured, underinsured, and low-income families impacted
by wildfires. The campaign focuses on providing assistance with
rebuilding and relocation to ensure families have safe and stable
housing. Additionally, it offers essential home furnishings and
supplies to help create new living spaces, as well as temporary
rental and mortgage assistance for families whose homes are
uninhabitable.
“We are incredibly grateful to GigaCloud Technology for their
generosity and shared commitment to rebuilding lives and restoring
hope,” said Erin Rank, president and CEO of Habitat for Humanity
Greater Los Angeles. “Their donation will provide families with
essential home furnishings as they begin anew after the devastation
of wildfires.”
