LAFC and BMO were proud to honor small businesses impacted by the wildfires or who stepped up to support those businesses through our Small Business Spotlight program. As a testament to the strength and resilience of the LAFC Community, we highlighted these businesses at select matches in 2025.
Please join LAFC and BMO in helping rebuild our community and allowing small businesses to continue serving the communities they love. Together, we show that LA is strong.
The 2025 Grantees
The 2025 Grantees
The Little Red Hen Coffee Shop
The Little Red Hen Coffee Shop was a historic, Black-owned diner and staple in the Altadena community for over 50 years. The Eaton fires sadly destroyed this small business. With the Altadena and LAFC communities by their side, The Little Red Hen Coffee Shop plans to rebuild stronger than ever.
Café De Leche
Inspired by Anya’s mother's love for café, Café De Leche has proudly served Los Angeles since 2008.
The devastating Eaton fires took Café De Leche - a community favorite and family-owned business that provided Altadena with coffee and connection.
Café De Leche embodies resilience in rewriting their story and offering once again a place where they can serve coffee and strengthen the community through shared experience.
Paliskates
Paliskates, a female-owned skate shop, has offered the spirit and culture of surf and skate to its community in the Pacific Palisades since 1999.
Soon after celebrating its 25th anniversary, Paliskates was tragically destroyed in the Palisades Fire. But, recognizing the importance and positive impact Paliskates offered to the kids, staff, and customers in the community, owner Erica is eager to bring back what many call their “second home."
Amazing Music Store
The Amazing Music Store served as a cultural cornerstone for more than four decades, inspiring and empowering generations of musical talent in the Pacific Palisades.
What was once a space for music and healing has become memories and heartbreak after the store was destroyed by the Palisades Fire.
The Amazing Music Store hopes to continue spreading the love of arts and keep the music alive in their community.
