Cheering Our Veterans

My family likes doing things that brightens the lives of others. If you are looking for a worthy cause, the residents at the WEST VIRGINIA VETERANS' HOME would love to hear from you. All residents there are self-sufficient, but many are without family and love contacts from those outside of the home. We have made some wonderful friends here and they appreciate even the briefest of notes, or a card. The address is:

WV VETERANS' HOME 512 WATER STREET BARBOURSVILLE, WV 25504

At last count, there were 63 residents, and there have been as many as 125 during the time that we have been sending cards for holidays. For holidays, you may send the cards without names and the staff will address them to the residents. You may also contact the administration for a list of resident names and birth dates. Each month, a party is held at the end of the month for all residents, but honoring those who were born in that month. Small gifts are given to each person with a birthday that month and also as prizes to the others who attend. They can always use donations of small personal care items, stationery, socks, etc. If you would like to do something as a group for all the veterans, See this List
