Once again the ladies of Rossmoor Woman’s Club have been busy packing backpacks for our vets. Sheri Mansfield delivered the loaded packs after she, Ellen Odell, Robin Elliott and Louise Newald packed most of them with toiletries for men, a few for women and some were left empty so recipients could fill them on their own. Sheri was able to present one to a disabled vet in his wheelchair, while in the volunteer office.
The VA and Fisher House, both in Long Beach, are among the many charities supported by RWC.
According to the Fisher House Foundation website, “Fisher House Foundation is best known for a network of comfort homes where military and veterans’ families can stay at no cost while a loved one is receiving treatment.”
