Helping Homeless Veterans
Did you know that a third of the homeless in Hampton Roads are Veterans of the United States Armed Forces?
Please help the Virginia Beach Democratic Committee live our values at our Saturday, July 24th breakfast by providing support for homeless veterans through Vetshouse in Virginia Beach. Vetshouse provides housing, food, clothing, counseling and other assistance to homeless vets to help facilitate their return to gainful, independent, responsible and productive lifestyles. It is located right here in Virginia Beach.
Vetshouse Executive Director (and Veteran) Williard Smith will be our featured speaker. Cost of the all you can eat breakfast buffet (including tax and tip) is $10 for adults and $6 for kids under 12. $2 from every adult meal and $1 from every kids meal will be donated directly to Vetshouse.
The VBDC will also be collecting donations for Vetshouse of the following items:
- Non-perishable Foods (Canned foods, Cereals, Peanut Butter, Pasta, etc.)
- Household Consumables (Toilet Paper, Paper Towels, Dish Detergent, Laundry Detergent, Cleaning Products, Toothpaste, Soap)
- New or Very Gently Used Men’s Clothing
- Grocery Store, Department Store, or Gas Station Gift Cards
