SOUTH BEND, Ind. - Homeless veterans at the Robert L. Miller Sr. Veteran Shelter will have something special to open this Christmas thanks to generous donations from the Michiana community.
Organizers hosted a donation drive Monday to collect goods for those who sacrificed for our country.
Each veteran at the shelter will receive a tote filled with personal care items, food, cleaning supplies, and clothing to help them get back on their feet.
“A lot of this is about them being able to kind of own something, so that’s the reason there’s an individual tote, that each one of them gets a tote with all of their own personal care stuff, said Rebecca Robbins, organizer of the event. "When you’ve got nothing, that one little thing that you can hold onto and be like ‘this is mine’, you can start to rebuild.”
If you'd like to donate to the shelter, contact Robbins through the Support for Miller's Vets Facebook page.
