Starting today, residents and fire victims can come to the Legion Building at 15247 La Cruz Avenue (below CVS and next to the Post Office) to get assistance from various agencies and groups. The hours are expected to be Monday – Saturday 9am-5pm.

The Legion will be manned by veterans who want to help affected residents and helmed by past Ronald Reagan American Legion Commander, Jim Cragg. There will be stations that offer free legal advice, insurance advice, FEMA, the Small Business Association (SBA) and the Red Cross, as well as Mental Health Professionals (L.A. County Department of Mental Health), Trauma Counselors and Clergy.

Personal protective equipment (PPE) will be available along with food and water as well as shovels and sifters.

There will be flags stationed along the drive route from Sunset & Chautauqua, Sunset & PCH and Sunset & Temescal – all to help guide residents to the new assistance center.

We hope it is more convenient for those who have regularly gone to the UCLA Research Park on Pico.
