UNIT 78 Donates to Sweats for Vets
Unit 78 President presented Post 78 Commander Joe Reed with a check from the unit for $200. The money is designated for Auburn Post 78’s Sweats for Vets.
Sweats for Vets is run by American Legion Post 78 volunteers and all donations are used to purchase sweat suits with no overhead or operating costs deducted. This assures that all the Veterans will get at one gift on Christmas morning.
Several years ago some of the post members decided to start a program that benefits the Veterans that are in the area VA Hospitals on Christmas Day. Rather than spend Christmas morning with their families the volunteers that run Sweats for Vets take their Christmas morning and share it with the Veterans that have to spend it in the hospital. The volunteers arrive at the hospital with a van load of sweat suits and distribute them to all the patients.
For some of the patients this will be the only Christmas gift received by them on that this very special holiday. Thank you Unit 78 for continued support.
