Caution Urged Regarding Phone Soliticitations For Slain Deputy
ByThis information was passed along to me recently. It also appears in the Home Town Clipper.
Reports are coming in about fundraising donations being solicited by phone in regards to the death of Deputy Kent Mundell.
If members of the public want to make a donation to the cause, it is strongly encouraged they use the Columbia Bank account that has been set up to aid the Mundell family. Here is a list of bank locations.
The validity of the phone solicitations has not been verified by Pierce County. In many cases, such fundraisers keep the vast majority of the money.
CONTACT: Pierce County Department of Emergency Management at 253-798-7470.
Excellent alert! I had a phone call asking for a donation. When I questioned him and voiced my concerns he hung up on me. Please be careful and do not give out any of your personal acount numbers to anyone.
Must have been the lakewood fire union trying to get in on the action.
DuPont City Hall has a citizen’s phone tree, delivered at a $25,000 check paid to some survey firm in 2009.
