TEMECULA, Calif. \u2013 (Dec. 23, 2024) \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>The season of giving may be well underway, however, giving to the community and those in need happens all year round for Pechanga. Three contributions from Pechanga in December 2024 made a big difference in the lives of veterans, children and families in need. The MilVet organization in Southern California, the Spark of Love and Toys for Tots each received support from Pechanga. That came in the form of donated toys and monetary funds for children and families in need through the three hard working Southern California charities. The funds and gifts to the three organizations totaled nearly $25,000, and Pechanga leaders say they aim to help more deserving people this holiday season, too.<\/p>\n

Pechanga Firefighters and Pechanga Resort Casino team member volunteers recently shopped for underserved Southern California children and teens. In Pechanga\u2019s 10th year partnering with the ABC7 Los Angeles Spark of Love Toy Drive, Pechanga donated an entire fire truck full of toys to the special cause \u2013 over $3,000 worth of games, sports equipment, dolls, puzzles and more. They also donated an additional $7,000 in funds to the foundation that ensures underprivileged kids in Los Angeles and surrounding communities receive a toy for the holidays. Pechanga Fire Department Firefighters joined ABC7 live on television during the 6 a.m. hour on December 13 to present the truck-ful of toys, plus the big check.<\/p>\n

As they have for more than a dozen years, Pechanga also donated $10,000 to the U.S. Marines Corps Toys for Tots. The monetary donation allows the Marines to continue their program goal \u2013 giving the gift of a new toy and helping to bring the joy of the holidays and sending a message of hope to America’s less fortunate children.<\/p>\n

More than 1.8 million former U.S. service members call California home. Nearly 160,000 active duty military are stationed in the Golden State. To offer a helping hand to active military and veteran in need, Pechanga\u2019s Team Members purchased hundreds of toys to give to MilVet\u2019s Holidays for Heroes program. A non-profit organization, MilVet\u2019s services seek to enrich the lives of deployed troops, veterans and their families. Volunteers picked up dozens of boxes filled with toys from Pechanga, sure to bring smiles to many faces this holiday.<\/p>\n
