At this time of year, most of us are planning gifts to our loved ones, as well as to those in need. Each year VFW Post 406 supports the collection of new goods for delivery and distribution to the residents of the Rhode Island Veterans Home Community Living Center in Bristol, Rhode Island.
The RI Veterans Home provides quality nursing and residential care to over 200 Rhode Island War Veterans.
Items can be dropped off in person on December 14th, during the our December Lecture series (Click here for details for the lecture information).
The following items have been identified and requested by the administrators of the Veterans Home in order to meet the needs and requests of the Veterans in residence there:
