Drive to Collect Detergent for Homeless and At-Risk Veterans in DC Underway
WASHINGTON, DC—The American Legion Post 1 and American Legion Auxiliary Unit 1 are partnering to collect laundry detergent for homeless and at-risk veterans in DC.
The Washington DC Veterans Affairs Medical Center’s Community Resource and Referral Center (CRRC) provides care and services to homeless and at-risk veterans 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. DC’s CRRC is one of 17 such centers across the country, and offers a primary care clinic, a kitchen, laundry and shower facilities, a food pantry and play room for children, as well as a host of other community services.
Donations are already coming in from Legion Family members (local and out-of-state) and non-Legion Family members alike. Please donate today to make a difference in the lives of our most in-need veterans.
Unit 1 has committed to assisting the DC-based CRRC in the future.
American Legion Auxiliary Unit 1 is the District of Columbia’s newest women’s patriotic service organization. Unit 1, formally chartered in 2013, is committed to serving veterans, their families and the DC community. For more information on the American Legion Auxiliary and Unit 1’s programs and members, please visit www.ALAUnit1inDC.org.
