FAVE Family Volunteering: Winterfest for Vets
Help Support WinterFest at CalVet and support senior veteran. Make gifts and visit veterans! Spread cheer by making cocoa, gifts, and cards while visiting with residents housed at CalVet.
Why: Veterans look forward to the companionship and fun that FAVE families bring to their winter events. Many of the seniors housed here receive few visitors. Socialization helps boost mental and physical health. Families truly bring holiday cheer to Cal Vets!Who: CalVet has a residential program that offers affordable long-term care to aged and disabled veterans as well as their eligible spouses and domestic partners. Honoring these non-profit partners reminds us that while Veterans’ Day is in November, veterans’ issues are ongoing and deserve attention all year. We will meet in person on Saturday, December 14th for this outdoor event to put together cocoa kits with mugs, make scarves and key chains, and visit with the veterans who live at CalVets. It was a great event for all of those who participated last year, and the vets cannot wait for us to return!
