Last month, we collected 16 twin sheet sets, 18 small coffee bags, and a complete set of dishes and silverware. Thank you all for your generosity.
October Donations will be collected at the Post. The Veterans need Bath Towel Sets, Shampoo, and Body Wash. Please consider donating every month. Thank you!
For information about Moving Veterans Forward, here is a link to their website.
Dan and Kathy Raabe toured the facility September 29, when they delivered the sheets, coffee, and other items. They store the items until a need arises, then they help the veteran select their own items for their new home. They provide the manpower and truck to move the furniture and household items. They have a foundation that manages monetary donations for them, so all is above board. We were impressed with what we saw, as well as the other help that is available, the support, the activities they have for the veterans. We learned they are where Victory Apartments secures their furniture, supplies, etc. on a continuing basis.
We look forward to helping them help our local homeless veteran population, not only to secure a place to live, but also for counseling, PEER support, and knowing they are not alone. We’re with them. Questions? Dan Raabe (402) 651-8039 or Kathy Raabe (402) 392-0210.
