Over the last five years Susanville’s Veterans of Foreign Wars Post #2381 has regularly made monetary contributions to local charitable organizations, putting tens-of-thousands of dollars right back into the community through a wide range of causes including large donations to Sober Graduation, Susanville Little League, Northern California Cancer Advocates, Susanville Police Officer’s Association’s Holiday with a Hero and more. The list is both extensive and impressive.
The VFW has also hosted fundraisers for other organizations, helped pay for scholarship programs, Eagle Scout projects and a relief fund for local veterans.
In December, the VFW made two more generous donations, writing checks for $500 to the Lassen High Cadet Corps and Lassen Crime Stoppers.
The group also saluted LHS Cadet Corps Captain Rachel Vincent and the Cadet Corps, “for their dedication, support and their unwavering patriotism to the Lassen County Veteran Organizations.”
The VFW post also recognized Frank Robberson for his dedication and support. “As a volunteer,” the VFW wrote on Robberson’s plaque, “you have been beneficial to the Post. Again, thank you for your unwavering patriotism to the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States.”
The Lassen College Athletic Department was honored for their dedication to veterans, including their annual Veteran’s Day breakfast at Monsignor Moran Hall.
