Clothing Drive for Veterans in Need

Posted on: Oct 24, 2016

Delano Public Schools is sponsoring a Clothing Drive for Veterans in Need beginning Monday, October 24 and ending on Friday, November 11. All donated items must be newly purchased, no previously worn items will be accepted. The donated clothing will be given to Veterans in Need at the St. Cloud V.A. Hospital. These veterans, many who are homeless at admission, are hospitalized for 60 to 90 days. When they are well enough for discharge, the hospital staff works to ensure that their basic needs are met. The needed items are: men's socks, underwear, undershirts, t-shirts, sweat pants and jeans. Drop off boxes are located outside of each school office. You can also make a monetary donation which will be used to purchase winter coats. Please make checks payable to Delano Public Schools and write "Veteran's Clothing Drive" in the memo box. Thank you for your support!
