Seal Beach Victims Fund

Our City staff has been working around the clock to be sure all services that are needed at this very sad time are available to those who need them.

The Police Department has done a very efficient job from the arrest, through the investigation and in comforting the grieving.  The City Manager and her staff have put grief counselors into place, manned the phones and kept the City running during a most stressful time.  The website has been updated and gives the up-to-date information on what you can do should you need help or want to offer help.

This coming week there will be more chances to reach out to each other.  Friday, Saturday and Sunday Von’s Pavilion is offering to match all donations that are brought to the market in Seal Beach on PCH and Main and at the Los Alamitos store.  They have offered to match up to $25,000.  If contributing to the fund to help the victims is a way you would like to help, what better way than to double your gift by handing it in at Von’s?  The City, in partnership with the Chamber of Commerce and Watson & Associates (shopping center owner at site of the incident), have jointly formed the “Seal Beach Victims’ Fund”.

While no doubt several other funds will be established to assist the victims’ families, we are encouraging those who would like to donate funds to contribute directly to the Seal Beach Victims’ Fund and deliver your donation to Von’s Saturday or Sunday (so your donation will be doubled) and to the Chamber of Commerce from Monday on.  Additional details regarding this fund can be found in a press release on the City’s website.

Von’s will match our donations up to $25,000.
