Hints from Heloise - Idea - Veteran's Hospital Needs (Calendars, Toiletries, Etc)

By Hklbrries

Dear Heloise: I read your column every day — lots of good suggestions. Thanks! A lady wrote in about getting so many calendars at the end of each year and not knowing a good place to take them.

My husband and I work at the veterans hospital in Bonham, Tex., and we take ours up to the veterans. They are pleased to get them. We take from 25 to 60 each year, because people know that we do this and bring over the extra ones they get. If you have a veterans hospital near you, please take yours there! -- Bobby and Louise in Texas

We called the veterans hospital here in San Antonio, and hospital officials agreed that they would gladly accept the calendars. They also accept:

-

Toiletry items, like shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, shaving cream, new razors, hairbrushes, combs, toothbrush and toothpaste, etc.

-

Books and magazines, although they ask that the magazines be current within the past two months.

-

Clothing in good shape, but no underwear or socks unless they are new.
