The Women’s City Club will be celebrating the International Women’s Day on March 8, 2021, by honoring the 14 women who reside at the Michigan Veterans Home in Grand Rapids. The Club plans to fulfill the women’s individual “Wish Lists” by collecting items in the month of February and presenting gift packages on March 9, 2021. We are seeking:

New Clothing: in sizes S-3X. Items especially desired are sweatshirts, zip-up or pullover fleece. Flannel shirts, jackets and PJs.

Personal items, including shampoo, body wash, toothpaste, blankets, novels, puzzles, word search and Sudoku booklets.

Snacks: individually wrapped items such as granola bars, Rice Krispies Treats, cookies, chips, chocolates, and soft drinks.

Items purchased for the “Wish Lists” may be brought to East Congregational Church, 1005 Giddings SE, Grand Rapids, MI on March 9, 2021 at 11:00 AM or call 616-459-3321 to make alternative arrangements.

If you are unable to shop for the “Wish List items,” WCC will accept monetary donations, which will be used to fulfill the requests. Call 616-459-3321 for more information.

Any surplus items will be shared among other residents of the Veterans Home.
