Help Our Vets! Drive Underway:





Lewes, DE; December 5th; Les Aaron, Director of the Committee for Positive Change, is pleased to announce as part of their program to help provide support for Veterans, their first clothing drive. “As John Kerry’s former Veterans Adviser for Southern Delaware and as a Vet myself, I know that I am one of the fortunate ones and that there are many Vets who are needy and don’t even have gloves or a warm head covering for these cold winter evenings. Therefore, we are embarked upon a County-wide program designed to supply every Veteran in Delaware with warm gloves and a hat. The Sussex County drive will ask volunteers to find and donate either new or used gloves that are clean and dry without holes to the program for distribution to Veterans through-out the State before the holidays.



“Those interested in supporting Help Our Vets! Volunteer Glove and Hat Drive should send their donations to L. Friedlieb, 239 Lakeside Drive, Lewes, DE 19958. We are a small organization and cannot pay postage due on shipments; these will be returned to sender. Or make arrangements via email at hubmaster@aol.com. Please identify Help Our Vets in the subject line.



“For those who don’t have new or used gloves in good condition, we shall buy gloves at the lowest possible price. Minimum donation levels are five dollars for a hat or a pair of gloves. Help the Veterans stay warm this Christmas Day and show that they are cared for, please donate to Help Our Vets! Program today.



“All donations should be scheduled to arrive by no later than 20 December for this year’s drive. Donations shall be made to VA hospitals and homes and churches within Sussex County for distribution to Vets, and the poor and needy. Thank you for your kindness and your generosity.”



This program endorsed by the Committee for Positive Change, a local organization committed to community and environmental causes.
