Donations to benefit area veterans
Yorkville United Methodist Church is requesting donations to benefit area veterans. They can be dropped off from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm on Saturday, November 14 in the church parking lot located at 17645 Old Yorkville Road (63rd Drive, just north of Highway 20).
Items collected will be donated to the Veterans Housing and Recovery Program. This is an active facility with up to 40 veterans residing in Fairchild Hall (formerly at Cottage 16) on the grounds of Southern Wisconsin Center, Dover. Veteran’s Day is coming up and this is a great opportunity to thank those who have served us in the military.
The following items would be greatly appreciated:
- Food: 3# coffee, granola bars, microwave popcorn, individually bagged chips
- Cleaning Supplies: disinfecting wipes, bleach, hand sanitizer, Pine-Sol floor cleaner
- New Clothing Items: sweat pants and sweat shirts (both 2X to 4X), colored T-shirts (2X to 4X), jackets, gently used or new (2X to 4X), warm hats, winter gloves
- Gift Cards: Pick ‘N’ Save, Piggly Wiggly, Kwik Trip
During this heightened awareness around the dangers of the coronavirus, donations to our veterans are very helpful. Safe no-contact collection boxes will be set up in the church parking lot. Volunteers following safety guidelines will also be present if assistance is needed.
This event is sponsored by the Nurture-Outreach-Witness (NOW) Team of the church. For more information contact Betsy at 262-994-7709 or the church at 262-878-2388.
