Our 4th annual Coat and Supplies Drive to benefit the Hoosier Veterans Assistance Foundation (HVAF) has officially come to a close. Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of our participating locations and those who donated, this was our most successful drive to date, with over 300 clothing items and 150 supplies items donated!
HVAF is an organization dedicated to helping homeless veterans return to self-sufficiency while also working with at-risk veterans to prevent them from homelessness by providing supportive housing, case management, food, hygiene and clothing. They are the largest nonprofit provider of comprehensive services for veterans in Indiana, and last year, their efforts helped 2,259 veterans have a safe place to sleep and 1,205 family members receive the counseling and guidance necessary for them to become self-sufficient.
Some of the items donated this year include:
- 89 coats
- 26 winter hats
- 69 pairs of socks
- 61 shirts
- 38 sweatshirts
- 60 tubes of toothpaste
- 32 deodorants
