Hello to all those those that support the Springfield area veterans! The holidays are upon us and we want to support them! I am in need of blankets, lip balm, warm socks, gloves, hats, soaps, shampoo, washcloths, toothbrushes and toothpaste. Last year your generosity served over 100 HUD/VASH veterans! If you can donate any of these items it would be much appreciated! If you can donate monetarily, you need to have that donation to Department right away so I can get shopping! We would like to get these items to the location by the first week in December! Thank you all so much!
