During the summer of 2020, Aisle 32 founder and Los Angeles native Madeline Placido put her creativity where it counts and sold decorated “velas” and handmade bags in support of Black Lives Matter and ACLU. From what started as making merchandises to order and vending via Instagram DM’s, Placido took her second year in college to re-brand the very small fundraiser to be the best new small business on the block, Aisle 32.

Aisle 32 strives to uplift existing non-profits in LA County against the fight of racial inequality in academic spaces. 32% of monthly revenue will be donated to a different organization, such as La Casa de San Gabriel Community Center and Heart of Los Angeles (HOLA). Madeline has all of you to thank for bringing Aisle 32 to life. This is just the beginning.
