Food for Vets
At KanVets United, we have been busy serving our local heroes since we began in March, 2020.
KanVets supplied almost 1,000 sandwiches to veterans who had recently moved into housing at the beginning of the Covid shut down.
(A BIG THANK YOU to Livingston’s Diner for being so helpful with this project!)
Over $1000 in grocery and gas gift cards have been donated.
(We also give them a Bible when we give them a gift card – these Bibles were donated by one of our generous donors and Biblica, the International Bible Society)
Finding Care for Vets
Arrangements were made to get a Veteran who was living in a parking lot in Hutchinson to the Wichita VA.
Here is a quote from our contact at the VA:
“Just wanted to give you guys an update… the veteran made it safely to the VA, got checked out and is now fed and resting comfortably at our shelter and we can start working a housing plan for him. Your help was invaluable to this veteran as he is now safe, cool and knows where his next meal is coming from. Thank you for helping connect this veteran to us today!”
Support on All Levels.
A birthday party was held for a 4 yr old son of a veteran and we provided a bicycle and some clothes for his gift.
Appliances for Vets.
KanVets has provided furniture and appliances for multiple veterans in need as they celebrated moving into their new homes, along with aid in appliance repair.
A big THANK YOU to the many generous donors who have participated over the past few months
