Veterans Gift Shop open for donations
By Angel Carpenter
Blue Mountain Eagle
Donating to the Veterans Gift Shop
in John Day is a way to help military
servicemen and women have a brighter
Christmas season.
The gift shop is on display at
Mosier’s Home Furnishings, and do-
nations of new unwrapped items
are being accepted through Friday,
Nov. 11.
The gifts will be delivered to Port-
land Veterans Medical Center where
veterans can “shop” for free for their
family members.
This year, Lois Wacken donated 67
afghans, which she crocheted herself
over the past 12 months.
She said she likes to crochet
while listening to the local sports
games on the radio or watching na-
tional football or baseball games on
television.
Ruth Harris, president of the El-
lis Tracy Unit of the American Legion
Auxiliary, has been organizing the gift
drive for about 20 years.
“I really enjoy working for it,” she
said. “Our support has been very good
throughout the years.”
She said she especially appreciates
the volunteers who drive the gifts to the
medical center.
Harris said people can do-
nate anything a family would en-
joy, including flannel shirts, paja-
mas, toys for youngsters and small
appliances.
