An Update from the Country Mart -
Thanks to the heroic efforts of the Los Angeles Fire Department and other first responders, and what feels like some sheer luck, the Brentwood Country Mart has been spared any damage from the fires that have been ongoing in our community. Our hearts go out to Mart customers and our neighbors all over Los Angeles who were not so fortunate. Please know that we send our love and support to you.
In a dark time such as this, I am comforted by the resilience and strength of our neighbors, friends and Mart family. I’m enormously grateful to our grounds crew who have been keeping watch at the Mart overnight since the fires started, the shopkeepers who are showing up for their respective customers in countless ways, and the citizens of Los Angeles for their outpouring of compassion and assistance. And our sincere thanks go out to the fearless firefighters who limited the devastation.
The Country Mart has always been a place for families to gather and create memories together. In this situation where many of these same families are faced with unthinkable devastation and rebuilding, we want to show our support by making a donation to Save the Children’s Emergency Fund on behalf of Brentwood Country Mart, Marin Country Mart, and Montecito Country Mart.
People need people. And now, more than ever, our community needs us; and we need our community.
Warmly,
James S. Rosenfield
