As part of National Salute to Veteran Patients Week last month, Rye Girl Scouts joined together to create valentines for veterans at the VA Hospital in Montrose. In addition, they collected over 200 personal care items, from shaving cream to shower gel. And they donated crayons, coloring books, and games to the children of patients.
Staff members at the VA Hospital were delighted to receive the contributions and cards and be able to distribute them to recovering veterans just in time for Valentine’s Day.
Members of Daisy Troop #1910 and Girl Scout Troops #1917 and #2194 encourage citizens to visit hospitalized veterans and become involved as volunteers.
