Description
Indianapolis fire investigators and the ATF are still trying to figure out what caused a massive fire downtown Saturday night.
It caused catastrophic damage to the Helping Veterans and Families of Indiana facility, which helps homeless veterans find self-sufficiency.
Now, there's an outpouring of community support to help the nonprofit and veterans recover.
Leslie Leffel spent part of her Monday on a mission: help veterans in crisis from a catastrophic fire.
"We loaded up the car and brought some things downtown to hopefully help out and relieve some of their loss," Leffel said.
The donations, from Leffel, her husband and their neighbors in Carmel, are some of many coming in, after the HVAF of Indiana facility went up in flames at 9th and Pennsylvania streets around 9:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 26.
