Marquette, MI – November 23, 2020 – We’re back for another year of Christmas is for Veterans with D.J. Jacobetti Home for Veterans to bring holiday cheer to our local veterans! Though a little bit different this year, we need your help to carry on the tradition of giving back to those who have given us so much.
While you’re out Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, or Cyber Monday shopping, grab an item or two from the 2020 Wish List for our veterans.
Visit any of the drop off locations listed below to donate your Christmas is for Veterans wish list items. They’re boxes are easy to spot, wrapped in breath cheery wrapping paper, usually located near the entrance of the building.
We won’t be having our usual celebration at the Home for Veterans, but we’ll make sure your donated items make their way to D.J. Jacobetti in time for Christmas!
Join us in honoring and giving back to our veterans. Check out the 2020 Christmas Wish List and donate an item or two this Christmas season.
