In a heartwarming display of community solidarity, the Filipino American Association of the Coachella Valley, in partnership with the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, organized a donation drive to support victims of the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles. The event, which took place this morning at Valley Christian Assembly in Palm Desert, was a resounding success, with truckloads of donations gathered to provide relief to those affected by the fires.

"I just want to thank everybody that helped our donation drive today. It’s a true reflection of how people in the Coachella Valley are always ready to help, especially during crises like the wildfire disaster in Los Angeles," they shared.
