Helping Our Veterans in times of Need
Our country has been under a
tremendous strain for almost a year and many citizens are in-need of help. The Government recently sent relief checks. Many need this stimulus, others do not. If you are one of those who do not need this
check, The Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1555, here in Chico, has a relief fund
that is used to aid veterans in their time of need. Our relief fund depends on donations to enable
us to fund our much-needed support functions. If you are not in need of received
funds; we ask that you consider donating to our Post Relief Fund so we can
continue our efforts to help. Donations can
be made to VFW Post 1555, c/o Commander, Mike Halldorson, 554 Rio Lindo Avenue,
Chico, Ca 95926. Write on the memo line
"For Relief Fund.” For more information call
Mike Halldorson at (530)513-3730 or Pat Hurton at (530)343-4060.
