Representatives from Local 9899 in Saginaw, Mich., took up a collection this winter in support of the area veterans hospital. Last week, they were able to donate nearly 100 pairs of socks.
Local President Jackie Anklam said the local plans to continue supporting the hospital and the effort to provide veterans – and especially homeless veterans – with personal items they may need, including deodorant, shampoo and conditioner, toothbrushes and toothpaste as well as gloves, hats and socks.
