Veterans Group Project

On Tuesday afternoon, after the general session, the NALC Veterans Group will be putting together homeless care kit bags for at-risk and homeless veterans in L.A. and the surrounding areas.

“We are veterans helping veterans,” said Assistant to the President for Community Services Christina Vela Davidson.

When bags are completed, they will be donated to Veteran Center in the Los Angeles area. These centers help veterans who are at risk or homeless with tools to become self-sufficient and provide a path to successful independent living. These centers also offer programs and services that enable success, reintegration, meaningful employment and independent living.

For the care kit bags, the NALC Veterans Group is seeking new items, such as bottled water, wrapped snacks and toiletries. The following items are needed to fill the care kit bags and provide essential items for these veterans:

  • Toiletries (travel size): Soap, lotion, deodorant, hand sanitizer, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, wet wipes, lip balm, tissues, sunscreen 
  • Care items: Socks, comb, brush, Band-Aids, water bottles 
  • Non-perishable food items: jerky, crackers, protein bars, tuna pouches, trail mix, granola bars, cereal bars, fruit snacks, bottled water 

Participants will be filling 1,500 care kit bags to distribute to the at-risk and homeless veterans. 

“Thanks in advance for lending your time,” Vela Davidson said. “Any donation is appreciated.”

Anyone with questions can contact Vela Davidson at cdavidson@nalc.org or 202-662-2489.
