“We want to help Veterans.” We love getting those calls from churches, civic groups, and individuals who want to provide helping hands for Veterans at Opportunity House.
Each year, churches like St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Orwigsburg, PA fulfill their mission of “God’s Work, Our Hands” through service projects that include Opportunity House and their Veteran Program.
Case manager, Victoria suggested this project for her church. She provided a list of suggested items for members to collect including basic household items like pots, pans, towels, dishcloths, shower curtains, silverware, plates, and cups. These items are essential for Veterans who are starting may be starting a new chapter of their lives in a new apartment.
Veterans appreciate these essential items.
Toiletries like shampoo, conditioner, soap, body wash, shaving cream, deodorant, toothbrushes, and toothpaste are always welcomed and appreciated. These items provide a much-needed helping hand for Veterans who experienced homelessness through eviction or other circumstances.
