Niles Community Collection Drive & Service Day
Saturday, September 9, 2023
Join Niles United and VFW Post 3579 Niles Memorial as we commemorate the 9/11 Day of Remembrance and Service by collecting move-in essentials to assist our veterans on Saturday, September 9 at the Niles Memorial VFW at 7255 N Caldwell Ave from 9am to 1pm.
Although most veterans re-enter civilian life successfully and go on to lead productive lives, on any given night the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) estimates that 40,056 veterans are homeless.
When a veteran leaves a shelter or transitional housing and moves to a permanent residence, they often do not have the things needed to set up a new home. Aside from the obvious bedding and furniture, they need the basic items we often take for granted.
