On June 17, 2021, the Orange County Community Foundation will host “Stand and Salute,” a Giving Day that aims to raise more than $125k for veterans and their families. Val DiGiorgio shares how you can help:
Stand and Salute the brave men and women who’ve fought for our nation’s freedom in the US military and armed forces… This Giving Day, it’s time to give back to veterans!
