Summary at a Glance

Avery told the magazine that Meghan spent 'multiple hours' at Altadena Girls' makeshift headquarters, donated clothes from her own wardrobe, and even got  'styling training' so she could help the girls who came in pick their clothes and accessories.

Meghan recently volunteered with LA-based charity Altadena Girls that collected clothes for women impacted by the historic wildfires that ripped through California last month.

One of the most notable examples of what has been dubbed 'the Meghan effect' was in 2017, when a bag from Scottish brand Strathberry sold out online in 11 minutes after Meghan wore it during an engagement during then-fiance Harry.

Speaking to Marie Claire, Avery said she 'just started to break down crying' when she found out Prince Harry and Meghan's not-for-profit Archewell Foundation wanted to get involved with Altadena's volunteer efforts.

Avery Colvert, 14, set up the Altadena Girls Recovery Fund to help support young girls in her community 'regain their sense of self and confidence' in the wake of the devastation of the wildfires that ripped through California last month.
