A heartfelt thank you to Army, Navy & Airforce veterans in Canada. Unit 3 Edmonton AB for their generous donation of $26,000 in support of veterans in our community! 🙏

This incredible gift will provide temporary shelter for two veterans for up to three months each, offering safety, stability, and the opportunity to focus on the next steps in their journey.

At the Veterans Association, we know that a safe place to stay can make all the difference during a time of crisis.
Thank you, ANAVETS Unit 3 Edmonton, for standing with veterans when they need it most.

❤️ A safe night. A stronger tomorrow.
