Army Reserve Families Need Our Support Right Now!

The Community Action for Veterans (CAV) organization is announcing a community donation drive for the Ready to Serve Resource Locker throughout the entire month of August.

The CAV is calling on our community to support this new initiative aimed at helping Army Reserve Families in need by donating essential items.

Some of the items suggested include:

• School supplies (Backpacks, notebooks, pencils, crayons, etc)
• Non-perishable food items (Canned goods, pasta, rice, cereal, etc)
• Diapers and baby formula
• Personal hygiene products (Toothpaste, soap, shampoo & conditioner, deodorant, etc.)

There are 3 dropoff locations where you can leave the items you collect.

• Vern Eide Honda
• Vern Eide Acura
• Vern Eide Mitsubishi

All donated items will be given directly to Army Reserve families who are experiencing financial hardship or other challenges.

Your generosity can make a real difference in these families' lives as they try to balance their military duties and personal lives.

According to Jill Baker, the Executive Director of Community Action for Veterans, The Ready to Serve Resource Locker "is dedicated to supporting our military families". She believes that "every contribution, large or small can make a huge difference".
