Ready 2 Serve Resource Locker: Supporting Our Army Reserve Families in Need

August 1, 2024 - [Sioux Falls, SD] – Community Action for Veterans is proud to announce a community donation drive for the Ready to Serve Resource Locker throughout the entire month of August. We are calling on our community to support Army Reserve families in need by donating essential items.

This initiative, aimed at providing much-needed support to those who serve our country, focuses on collecting a variety of items, including:

• School supplies (backpacks, notebooks, pencils, etc.)
• Non-perishable food items (canned goods, pasta, rice, etc.)
• Diapers and baby formula
• Personal hygiene products (toothpaste, soap, shampoo, etc.)

We invite everyone to drop off their donations at the following locations:

• Vern Eide Honda

These items will go directly to Army Reserve families who may be experiencing financial hardships or other challenges. Your generosity can make a significant difference in their lives, helping to ensure they have the basic necessities as they balance their military duties and personal lives.
