We are asking for donations such as gift cards, cleaning supplies, paper products, and laundry supplies which may be dropped off at your local VA. You may also submit an e-donation on the VA Internet Page https://www.saginaw.va.gov/ and click on the VA2K logo or directly at this link https://www.saginaw.va.gov/giving/index.asp .
We look forward to your participation in the 10th Annual VA2K Walk and Roll Event to support homeless Veterans and promote healthy lifestyles! If you have any questions, you may contact Carly Huffman at 989-497-2500, extension 11694.
