-2022-
Fill the Trailer

The Great Lakes Bay Veterans Coalition is conducting our annual personal hygiene goods drive to support Veterans and their families in need.

The Basics

Donations are distributed through Aleda E. Lutz VA Medical Center in Saginaw, Michigan. The Staff at the VA passes out over 80 hygiene kits per month. This program is not funded through the VA budget and exists entirely on donations.

Our goal is to fill a trailer with enough materials to stock their donation pantry for the next year.

See the bottom of the page for descriptions of recommended items
