WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Disabled Veterans National Foundation announces the successful delivery of office furniture and equipment valued at approximately $83,000 to veterans organizing the upcoming Cowlitz County Stand Down Event in Washington State. The delivery included hundreds of wooden desks, thousands of filing cabinets, more than 1,200 lounge chairs and 600 refrigerators.
According to Helen Reid, Stand Down Chairman for the Ladies Auxiliary of the State of Washington, who helped distribute the furniture and supplies, most all of the supplies went directly to veterans. Reid expressed extreme gratitude to DVNF for making the contribution, which she says was welcomed by the veterans.
“Again, what a wonderful experience to work with DVNF,” said Helen Reid. “I hope to do so many times in the future and God Bless you.”
“We are so happy to be able to support and help so many veterans in the Cowlitz County area of Washington,” said Precilla Wilkewitz, President of DVNF. “These Stand Down events do a lot of good for gathering veterans and getting them so much assistance as well as giving everyone a fun day of social activities and a forum to reminisce about their lives and their service. For veterans who too often are afraid or proud to ask for help, organizing an event like this one is a great way to get them the help they need.”
