Humble launches new bundles to support LA fire relief efforts

Humble has launched a collection of new Humble Bundles to support those affected by the recent devastating fires that hit Los Angeles earlier this month. As well as the bundles, the company is also pledging $200,000 from its Humble Forward Fund – in partnership with Direct Relief – in order to support work to provide healthcare, food, financial support, mental health services and educational access to victims of the disaster.

“The recent devastating fires in Los Angeles have left thousands of families in dire situations, and our thoughts are with everyone affected by this tragedy. Disasters such as this can be completely overwhelming for individuals, families, and entire communities,” said Humble’s VP for Social Impact Kamini Tiwari.

“Humble is committed to providing meaningful support through our partnerships with organizations such as Direct Relief, World Central Kitchen (WCK), Save the Children, International Medical Corps, and the Book Industry Charitable Foundation (BINC). Together, we aim to make a significant difference in the lives of those impacted by these fires.”

The bundles on offer include software and book collections that offer everything from Hellbooy comics to a selection of courses designed to teach developers to build games in Unreal Engine 5.

So far $340,000 has been raised between Humble’s Forward Fun donation and a portion of funds raised in December for Save the Children and BINC by Humble users.

Humble Bundle is part of IGN Entertainment, the division of Ziff Davis that includes GamesIndustry.biz, IGN, and MapGenie.
