Peabody's Cafe in downtown Palm Springs will host its third annual benefit for Cambodian Landmine Removal 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday.
Attendees will be able to bid on exotic items made in Cambodia as well as items donated by local Palm Springs merchants, according to an email publicizing the event. The items typically value $30-$50, the email stated.
Cambodian Landmine Removal has "a huge impact on those in especially rural and more remote areas ... who suffer from the fear of living amongst old landmines and far-to-often (sic) the devastating injuries sustained when encountering them directly," the email stated. "This organization also takes care of about thirty youngsters who've lost limbs due to landmines."
RSVPs, with an email to peabodyscafe@gmail.com and a head-count in the subject line, are encouraged, the email stated.
Peabody's is at 134 South Palm Canyon Drive.
