A Fun and easy way to make a difference
Do you have a special event coming up in you life? A birthday, anniversary, or maybe just a special holiday? There is a great way that you can entertain your family and friends, and make a difference for our needy veterans at the same time. Throw yourself a party with your friends, family, and neighbors, and in the invitation say something like: "No presents for us please, but if you would like to bring one of the following, we will donate it to the Veterans Furniture Center." Then list selected items from our Needy Things for Needy Veterans kit that you would like to include. We recommend that limit the choices to keep it simple. For example: "small coffee makers, coffee mugs, or two slice toasters."
We can help
If you let us know what your plans and ideas are, we can:
- Let you know what items are in short supply in our inventory
- Provide pictures of appropriate items to put in the invitation and appropriate price ranges (lower than you might think)
- Provide a template invitation that you can edit
- Provide electronic copies of information about the VFC that you can mail to your invitees
- Arrange to have a VFC representative present if you wish
- Pick up the donations after the event
