The Great Lakes Bay Veterans Coalition is conducting our annual personal hygiene goods drive to support Veterans and their families in need.
Donations are distributed through Aleda E. Lutz VA Medical Center in Saginaw, Michigan. The Staff at the VA passes out over 80 hygiene kits per month through the Saginaw location and ten of their Community Based Outreach Clinics (CBOC’S) located all over Northern Michigan. This program is not funded through the VA budget and exists entirely on donations.
How Can You Help
Option 1: You can donate the funds during the month of October, and the GLBVC will go shopping for you.
