Help needed
DANIELSON — The Danielson Veterans Coffeehouse is starting up a new program to send personal care packages to service men and women who are deployed overseas.
We need to create a listing of names and contact info in order to accomplish this, and we need the public’s help identifying these veterans from our community.
Packages must be addressed to an individual and not sent just to a military unit, so it is important to get the address accurate.
If you know of someone deployed, please send the info to us, and we will try to accommodate. Certainly, if you would like to donate or contribute to this project, contact Garry at 860-928-2309, or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
Monetary donations can be mailed to: Danielson Veterans Coffeehouse P.O. Box 3 Danielson, CT 06239, or see our Facebook page.

Campers
