As the weather turns colder, we are reminded that the season of giving is approaching. Holiday drives are a wonderful way to bring cheer to the individuals and families we serve.
This winter, consider hosting a drive to benefit
Burt and Barbara's Gifts of The Heart, which provides gifts for the older adults and veterans in our care who may not have family or close friends. Your gifts will let them know they are not alone.
Show your gratitude this Thanksgiving by giving back to the community. Host a celebration for formerly homeless veterans in honor of Veterans Day, or serve a Thanksgiving Feast to residents in our family shelters.
