IMAGINE
-Imagine
you are a young child and you do not know where you will be staying
tonight.
-Imagine you hope
you will have food, but probably not.
-Imagine you hope
they find a bed to sleep in, but it will probably be the car again.
-Imagine you wish
you didn't have to go to a gas station to use the bathroom.
You hate
nights when you have to wait.

THEY
SERVED US. 
NOW
LET US SERVE THEM
Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans (MACV), a non profit organization dedicated to helping Minnesota veterans. As many as 4,300 veterans of all wars are homeless in Minnesota or at risk of becoming homeless sometime during the year. These men and women, who honorably served their nation and defended our shared values, now struggle in their own country. They live on the street, suffering from physical or mental problems. Many live outdoors because their military training enables them to do so. They often delay seeking help-due to their deeply held sense of honor, duty and country, they believe that women and children must be served first. MACV is dedicated to honoring their service and returning these men and women to productive lives with hope, dignity, and self-determination…in the nation they once defended. Let’s help them out.
They are in need of:
New - men’s large and extra large t-shirts; New - men’s large and extra large underwear; New or slightly used - men’s large and extra large sweatshirts and sweatpants; Regular size shaving cream, shampoo, disposal razors, towels, wash cloths, and greeting cards.
This will be an ongoing collection for our American veterans.
You can bring your donations to the office OR put near the Food Pantry box in the Narthex. Please label the bags “For our MN Veterans”.
