LA fire donation drop-off at College of the Desert this Friday

Morales and Galindo Marketing Group, Hispanic American Chamber, along with other organizations are holding a donation drop-off at COD this Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The drop-off location is at College of the Desert-Palm Desert Campus, South Annex, GSD Pride Center, 43-500 Monterey Ave Palm Desert, CA.

Water, masks, blankets, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and baby wipes are just some of the items that are needed.

“I wanted to help the community because a lot of us live in the desert and live in L.A. and I wanted to see something. I want to feel the Coachella Valley, because we need their help,” said Rudy Morales, Owner of Morales & Galindo Marketing Group.

Morales says he contacted the board of trustees at COD and other organizations in order to make the fundraiser happen.

“They took me 48 hours to call all the donors or or sponsors to help me get this event going. And I also contacted Mary Jane Sanchez. She's one of the trustees at COD. She gave me the okay. And within 24 hours, we had a plan,” Morales explained.

Mary Jane Sanchez-Fulton says how important it is to help others in need.

“I'm thinking about the community and our whole Coachella Valley and the communities of Los Angeles, because that's what we do here at the college,” Sanchez-Fulton said.
