| Description |
| ***need split***Due to the high winds in Southern California SCE turned off the power to an estimated 75% of our community. SCE used our VFW post for nine continuous days as a Reception and Care Center opening at 8:00 AM and closing at 10:00 PM daily.
During these 9 days we had over 500 households a day come in to talk to Edison and pick up a care package that Edison was handing out. From day one our post decided we also needed to assist our community. So we had approximately 20 members both VFW and Auxiliary volunteer during the 9 days.
The Post acquired and handed out canned food mac and cheese peanut butter bread hamburger buns and non-perishable items to all those coming through the post.
The senior center down the street had no power for those 9 days so our members including the auxiliary made sandwiches for their lunches and delivered them to the center.
Over the 9 days we had hundreds come in and charge their phones tablets medical equipment and so on. We had numerous people who worked from home come in and spend the day on their computers so they could complete their work.
We also had members providing traffic control in our parking lot and organizing those waiting in line to speak with Edison.
