The American people are forever indebted to them and their families, and we must renew our commitment to ensuring that they get all the help they need,&#8221; Garcia said.<\/p>\n<p>Garcia\u2019s AVVCAC contribution is one half of his August donation, which he is splitting between the veterans organization and the Antelope Valley Sheriff\u2019s Boosters, who he will be meeting with next week for a tour of the Palmdale Sheriff\u2019s Station.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Congressman&#8217;s donation will go toward paying for building permits, designs, and set-up costs for the tiny homes that we are building on the east side of Palmdale,\u201d said AVVCAC Vice President Richard Casper. \u201cThe money will also help us with providing funding to help local veterans with urgent emergencies. Being that we are trying to get these things going during the time of COVID, it&#8217;s been very tough.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This month\u2019s split donation follows Garcia\u2019s July contribution to the Simi Valley Police Foundation. Garcia will continue to fulfill a commitment to donate the equivalent of 10% of his monthly salary to 25th district non-profit organizations as California continues to recover from the Coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PALMDALE &#8211; Congressman Mike Garcia (R, CA-25) on Thursday presented the second of his personal monthly salary donations to the Antelope Valley Veterans Community Action Coalition (AVVCAC), a Palmdale nonprofit that supports local veterans by providing them with the resources they need, primarily health care and financial assistance, and connecting them to various federal, state [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":94602,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1499,11,23],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theavtimes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95651"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theavtimes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theavtimes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theavtimes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theavtimes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=95651"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/theavtimes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95651\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theavtimes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/94602"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theavtimes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=95651"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theavtimes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=95651"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theavtimes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=95651"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
