Rankin Greys Christmas Donation Drive for Our Veterans at the VA Nursing Home
We’re collecting donations to support the men residing at the VA Hospital’s nursing home—our nation’s heroes who have served with honor and now deserve our care and gratitude.
Many of these veterans have limited family contact and would deeply appreciate thoughtful items to bring comfort, dignity, and joy to their daily lives.
We are asking for new and unopened items only.
Suggested Donation Items:
Warm socks or non-slip grip socks
Pajama or lounge pants (M–3XL)
T-shirts or zip-up hoodies
Slippers with non-skid soles
Flannel shirts or pullovers
Personal hygiene kits (body wash, shampoo, deodorant, lotion)
Shaving cream and razors (disposable or electric)
Aftershave or cologne (mild, non-irritating scents)
Combs, hairbrushes, nail clippers
Crossword puzzles, Sudoku, or large-print word search books
Stationery, notepads, pens
Playing cards, dominoes, or checkers
Soft blankets or lap throws
Baseball caps or knit beanies
All items must be new, in original packaging, and veteran-appropriate.
Donation Deadline: November 30, 2025
Drop-off Location: At any Rankin Greys camp meeting on the 2nd Saturday of the month at Los Cazadores at 7pm, or directly to a Rankin Greys member.
For Questions, Contact: Donna Ainsworth 6o1-278-3zero26
Let’s honor our veterans not just with words, but with action. Your donation—big or small—can bring comfort, dignity, and a reminder that their service is never forgotten.
