American Legion Post 519 Raises Funds for LA Fire Victims at Village Fest
American Legion Post 519 is stepping up to help those affected by the recent wildfires in Los Angeles County. During Thursday’s Village Fest in Palm Springs, the group raised about $250 for the American Red Cross, contributing to the ongoing relief efforts for fire victims. The funds collected will go toward providing essential assistance to those in need, as the fires have left many displaced and in distress.
The group plans to continue their fundraising efforts at next Thursday’s Village Fest, offering another opportunity for residents and visitors to donate. By stopping by their booth, community members can contribute directly to the American Red Cross and help further the cause. The Legion’s initiative reflects the community’s strong spirit of support during a time of crisis.
This effort is part of a larger, coordinated response across the Coachella Valley to aid those suffering from the devastating effects of the fires. Local groups, including American Legion Post 519, are working tirelessly to provide assistance and raise awareness, demonstrating the power of collective action in times of disaster. The Legion invites everyone to join them next week and lend a hand to those in need.
