Women Veterans Networking - Fundraising for Operation Grateful Giving
Women Veterans Networking - Fundraising for Operation Grateful Giving
Thursday, October 24, 2024 (5:00 PM - 7:00 PM) (CDT)
Description
An elegant networking event, with some special appearances and commendations, this evening is a chance for women veterans to meet each other and raise funds for Operation Grateful Giving.
Every year Starfish Foundation coordinates the creation and distribution of Holiday Gift Bags for the veterans who are in-patient at Zablocki VA Medical Center in Milwaukee and in-residence at Vets Place Central and Boudicca House. We fill over 500 gift bags with lots of fun goodies - playing cards from Potawatomi Casino, mini-bags of Jelly Bellys, puzzle books, pens, pencils, pads of paper, candy canes, chocolate, and other edibles, plus free mp3s from Warrior Songs and Liquid Mind, and other items donated by caring civilians and organizations. Volunteers can help solicit items for the bags, help fill the bags on December 23, and then distribute the bags on Christmas Eve morning.
You will learn more about Operation Grateful Giving and you can sign up to volunteer with the project if you'd like to join us.
ALL PROCEEDS for this event go to Starfish Foundation, designated for Operation Grateful Giving. Starfish Foundation is an all-volunteer organization providing free retreats and other programs and events for veterans.
