Donations help us meet the growing needs of the Veterans we serve, and all donations are tax-deductible.
We are currently in need of personal hygiene products such as shampoo, toothpaste, and deodorant, year-round clothing for both men and women, comfort and recreational items like blankets, board games, and ear plugs, as well as miscellaneous items like reading glasses, backpacks, and flashlights.
We also gratefully accept monetary donations, which will be used for:
