Hi Ladies,
Here is the charity we will be donating to at the Fall Mini-Reunion in Hyannis.
It supports the Viet Nam Veterans of the area.
Quoted from their website: NamVets Association and the Veterans Outreach Center have been providing service to all veterans since 1983. Now in our 30th year we have become the portal for veterans' service for Cape Cod and the Islands. Networking and partnering with key agencies we are able to provide more inclusive and better services for our homeless veterans (both men and women) who are in need of: housing, employment, medical or psychological services. We are seeking to become an agency providing permanent supportive housing for veterans and their families.
From the food pantry: Last year the Nam Vets Food Pantry served, the equivalent of, over 47,000 meals to the, almost seven hundred enrolled veterans and their families. This represents about a 40% increase in the number of veterans we have served during the past two years. Located at Nam Vets Association building at 569 Main Street, veterans may receive food twice monthly.
They will accept, Food (can goods, fresh vegetables, meat) sanitary products/ toiletries, and of course money.
See you in Cape Cod!
Peace,
Suzie
