Adopt-A-Veteran

As the Iowa Veteran's Home so near downtown, we want to help our servicemen and women who may not have a family to share Christmas with by taking their Christmas lists and having the community purchase those gifts. The packages are delivered at a reception at the Iowa Veteran's Home.
