Paralyzed vets to benefit from effort

FOOD DRIVE

The GRF Recreation Department is coordinating a month-long food drive in November to benefit the Paralyzed Veterans of America, California Chapter, based in Long Beach.

The group’s mission is to make lives better for paralyzed veterans and their families across Southern California. It has a long and historic legacy dating back to World War II. Its work includes spinal cord research, advocacy, and sports and recreation for local heroes.

Residents are asked to bring canned goods and other nonperishable food items to the Recreation Department in Building 5, the LW Library, Security Main Gate or the St. Andrews Gate. Community donations will help make a difficult year and holiday season brighter for these wounded warriors and their families.
