HELPING AMERICAN MILITARY VETERANS

Gleaning For The World is committed to helping U.S. military veterans.

Every month, we call the staff at the local Veterans Affairs clinic to ask about what their current needs are and how we can partner together to meet them. Sometimes, the answer is “we’re doing okay on supplies right now,” and other times, we’re able fill their supply closet.

We’ve provided cases of bottled water, snack foods and candies. We’ve donated hundreds of pairs of socks, as well as underwear and undershirts. We’ve delivered blankets, stocking hats, scarves, and gloves; books, magazines, pens and notepads.

We’ve also provide personal hygiene items like toothbrushes, deodorant, soaps and shampoos, which are especially useful for veterans living on the streets. We also provide feminine hygiene products for the female veterans who may be in need.

We are able to provide these items because of special supporters who donate specifically to our veteran’s fund. All monies donated online are used to meet needs of our nation’s military heroes.

If you have a special veteran or active duty military member in your life, donating to our veteran’s fund is a unique way to honor your loved one. If you’d prefer, I am always happy to send a special letter to your honoree to notify them of your thoughtful donation. Simply leave their name and address in the comment section of the donation form online.

Or, perhaps, you don’t know any military members closely, but still want to show your appreciation to those who have sacrificed for this country. I want to invite you to do so by donating to this fund as well.

It is my hope that we will be able to grow our response and meet as many needs as possible in our veteran communities.
