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 share these words of appreciation with you because they are meant for you! Yes, we receive kind notes and phone calls here in Concord, but it is because of our partnership together that so many people are receiving help every day.
