Red Cross to Hold Food and Sneaker Drive for Veterans November 12th
Help Food Insecure Veterans During the Holiday Season
The American Red Cross Eastern New York Region is hosting a food drive for the Albany Stratton VA to support Veterans facing food insecurities on Sunday November 12th from 9 am to 2 pm at the Red Cross office 33 Everett Road parking lot. Red Cross Volunteer and Vietnam Veteran George Walker will once again spearhead the effort in helping veterans and their families with food insecurity.
Sought after food include jars of pasta sauce, jelly, peanut butter, cereal, canned fruit, hearty canned soups, canned chicken, canned vegetables, boxes of pasta, boxes of mac & cheese, rice, oatmeal, granola bars, and ramen soups. New men's sneakers size 9 to 11 are also needed.
Red Cross animal visitation teams will be on hand to give all donors a "fur fix" and a chance to learn about the critical work these animals do to support our military families.
