Sweats for Vets


Betty Erdos, Jackie Eltringham, and Donna Armieri

The American Legion Auxiliary Unit No. 265 is collecting NEW navy blue or gray sweatshirts and sweatpants for veterans in the Northport VA Hospital.  Every year the ladies in the Auxiliary visit the patients in the VA hospital to bring Christmas cheer and gifts for the residents.

The VA Hospital has requested NEW navy blue or gray sweats in men’s sizes Large and XL.  There are no females in the ward at this time.  If you would like to donate NEW sweats, they can be dropped off at 38 Locust St, Garden City or you can call (516) 746-5194 for the items to be picked up. 

If you would like to contribute to the purchase of sweats, you can send a check written to ‘American Legion Auxiliary No. 265’ to the American Legion Auxiliary, PO Box 8, Garden City, NY  11530.  Any amount is appreciated.  Deadline is December 10th.  

You can be assured that your donation will be greatly appreciated by our veterans in the hospital during this holiday season.  We appreciate your contribution to help our veterans enjoy the holidays!
