Help Us Make the Holidays Bright for Our Chesterfield Veterans
Marie Gomez, MVHCT Representative
First, a heartfelt thank-you to the Units and volunteers who will help the Department of Michigan Auxiliary pull off another fantastic Halloween party for our veterans at Chesterfield. We always appreciate your support, and the joy you brought to our veterans says it all. Missed the chance to help? Two wonderful opportunities are coming up.
Veterans Day – Wednesday, November 11th at 2 pm. Join us at Chesterfield to honor our veterans with your time and presence.
4th Annual Christmas Gift Shoppe – Monday, December 7th from 4-7 pm is setup, and Tuesday, December 8th from 8 am-5 pm is Gift Shop Day. We need a minimum of 20 volunteers for each setup and shop day – please consider coming and lending a hand or getting your Units involved.
To volunteer, email me at marie.gomez@comcast.net. To donate, please call or text 248.854.4755 to learn the accurate way to do so – every contribution makes a BIG difference.
Finally, please consider keeping all 123 veterans currently residing at Chesterfield in your thoughts and prayers. Unlike a VA hospital, our Michigan Veteran Homes are generally the last home our veterans will ever have. While each one comes from a different background and has different circumstances, every one of them needs our prayers during the holiday season, as this can be a very stressful/overwhelming time for some. We don’t know them all – but we OWE them all.
