Funds available for fire victims from Chamber of Commerce and Legacy Endowment Foundation

The Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce and Legacy

Endowment Foundation have established a fund for

victims of the Fallbrook (Rice Canyon) Fire.

People wishing to contribute to the fund can make checks

payable to “Legacy Endowment” and specify their

donation is for the Fallbrook Fire Storm 2007. Send

checks to the Legacy Endowment Foundation, P. O. Box

2710, Fallbrook CA 92088 or deliver them to the

Chamber of Commerce office, 233 E. Mission Road,

Fallbrook.

Legacy Foundation is trying to focus on

Fallbrook, however, contribution of funds can also

benefit fire victims in other parts of North San Diego

County. If donors wish to contribute to other areas

where fire victims have need, they need only earmark

that area.

“We’ll make sure it gets there,” says foundation president, Phil Delaney.

To qualify for funds, individual applicants must show

proof of need. Funds collected will also be available

to other nonprofit organizations in Fallbrook such as

the Elizabeth Hospice, Fallbrook Healthcare

Foundation, North County Disabled Services and others.

The Legacy Endowment Foundation was formed to enhance

and preserve a higher quality of life for the community now, and for generations to come. Its

mission is to facilitate philanthropy for individuals,

families, businesses, nonprofits and organizations.

Legacy Endowment Foundation is a nonprofit, 501(c)3

organization. Their offices are located adjacent to

the Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce. Staff will be

available from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. or longer until

further notice. Normal hours are M-F, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
