Support Montrose Search and Rescue

Mark your calendars! On Wednesday, October 8, 2025, Doña Maria Mexican Restaurant (729 Foothill Blvd, La Cañada) will be donating 40% of your bill to Montrose Search and Rescue when you mention “MSAR.”

Like many search and rescue teams, MSAR is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. We rely on the generosity of our community to keep us ready. Your support helps fund the equipment, vehicles, training, and gear we need to respond to emergencies in the Angeles National Forest and beyond.

Our team cannot serve the public without its financial support. Every meal enjoyed that day directly helps us continue our mission: “So that others may live.”
