Altadena Mountain Rescue Needs Your Help

The Altadena Mountain Rescue Team is asking for donations to support their organization.

Interested parties can make a tax deductible donation to the Mountain Rescue Team. Over half of the organization's funding comes from private donations.

Any amount helps, said Richard DeLeon, captain of the Altadena Mountain Rescue Team.

"It just depends on the person. Sometimes our customers will come back with a little gift. We really do rely heavily on donations to get a lot of our gear," DeLeon said.

Monetary donations can be sent in to the Altadena Sheriff's Station, or can be paid through PayPal on the Mountain Rescue Team's website.
