OPERATION WOUNDED WARRIOR



AND THE CHILI FIRE DEPARTMENT



   CLOTHING DRIVE



VETERAN’S DAY WEEKEND



SATURDAY 11/10/2012- 9AM-9PM



CHILI F.D., CO# 1 – 3231 CHILI AVE

 

The Chili Fire Department will be accepting the following donated items to support wounded veterans and their families, as they return stateside for treatment and recovery at the Walter Reed Hospital. These Men & Women are arriving at the Hospital with literally only a “hospital gown” and then spend weeks, if not months recovering from their injuries sustained while protecting our country. Additionally, while the wounded warriors get some basic hospital toiletries, their families who have come to stay with them are left to fend for themselves.

 

Winter clothes are one of the most important items, as many military families arrive at Walter Reed from warm-weather states and are not prepared to spend extended time in the Washington D.C. area.

 

Clothing should be gender neutral, sizes for both adults and children, and should be NEW.   

T-Shirts 

Pajamas

Wash Cloths

Sweat Pants &Shirts

Toiletries

Fleece Jackets

Friday, October 19, 2012  The Chili Fire Department is once again sponsoring a collection drive to assist   wounded U.S Troops and their families with various items listed below as they are recovering from their injuries. The drive runs now through Saturday 11/10/12.

Last year Monroe County Fire Departments provided an outpouring of support, and we are asking that you once again consider supporting this effort.

Winter clothes are one of the most important items, due to the fact that a lot of the family members who are making the trip to the hospital are from the Southern States and are not accustomed to the harsh winters up in the North.

Jim Lechner, long time member of the Chili FD, Former Marine, and father of a wounded warrior, will again be delivering these care packages to the Walter Read Medical Center.
