OMAHA, Neb. (KLKN) — Nebraska For Us had a Veterans Day donation drive, receiving hundreds of items.
Nebraska For Us had the donation drive for the Omaha VA Medical Center.
They said with recent rising gas prices, grocery costs and health insurance premiums, Nebraska For Us wanted to highlight the effect these things have on local service members.
“Days like today are great reminders of how generous our community is and the way people are so eager to step up to help,” Nebraska For Us State Director Angie Lauritsen said. “As a proud Marine mom, it is heartening to see our neighbors lend their time and support to provide critical supplies to our local veterans.”
Free meals were provided for veterans and community members during the drive.
