WANTED

ONE OLD TRUCK OR TRAILER

VVA Chapter 1076 has grown from approximately 35 members a year ago this month (April) to over 100 members. We're becoming very successful with our fundraising and helping veterans in need.   

When we have two fundraisers at the same time, we need to haul equipment which doesn't always fit in our cars.  Member's trucks and SUVs may not always be available.    If we move our meeting location, we have to take our VVA 1076 sign with us. Wherever we move to may not give us the opportunity to rehang our signs.   With a truck or trailer we can secure our sign to it and park it where we want to give us exposure.  Also, we can keep our chapter supplies (tables, chairs, posters, banners, etc.,) locked up in a truck or trailer.  

Master Gunnery Sgt Sousa, who refurbished electric wheel chairs, will be retiring in a couple of months and he's looking to pass on the great work he's done for handicapped Veterans. With a truck or trailer, there are a numbers of things we can do for veterans who may need appliances or furniture moved or just a helping hand to move.

If you (or someone you know) can donate a truck or trailer, please let one of our Chapter Officers or Directors know.  We have members who can help to repair old trucks and trailers.  So, if it's got four wheels, we might be able to fix it and use it.

Thank you and start looking!   Donations are tax deductible.
