The Prince George Legion Branch 43 was forced to close their doors by order of the provincial health officer in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
During this difficult time operating costs are still ongoing so a gofundme page was started to help.
The goal is $20,000 to cover about three months of costs so the local Legion can continue to serve the community.
Margaret Goings, Legion president, said they are seeking all options for supplemental funding and will continue to support any veterans who need assistance.
"We hope all those could were scheduled to provide entertainment at the Legion will come back once we're open again so we can keep going," Goings said.
All donations are welcome on the gofundme page athttps://www.gofundme.com/f/help-the-prince-george-legion-branch-43?fbclid=IwAR0M9PLhEUkoVBuqmA5hfd75oSB3MrG_rjuLgUlmqk9WIeTVqYfUqNZXlgA
For veterans who need immediate assistance they are asked to call 250-562-1292.
