GFWC Big Rapids Shares with Women Veterans
Christmas is a wonderful time to share with others, including veterans who have served our country. Members of GFWC Big Rapids decided to share the holiday spirit with the 12 women veterans residing at the Grand Rapids Home for Veterans (MI). Individual decorative bags of various personal care items were provided to each woman. In all, individually and as a group, the women received hair accessories, clips, bobby pins, chap stick, hand lotion, long handled shoe horns, note pads, stationary, magnifying glasses, repair kits for glasses, hand sanitizer, nail polish and nail polish remover and word search books and pens. Community members are encouraged to share with the veterans at the Home, remembering that some residents are women who may need items that are a bit different than for the large number of males.
