RAPID CITY, S.D. – Local volunteers are looking for donations to help homeless veterans keep warm this winter. West River RSVP, Retired Senior Volunteer Program, is hoping we can donate winter clothing.
Items being sought include gently used men and women’s coats, new socks and underwear and gently-used sweatshirts and sweatpants. Items collected will be donated to veterans at the Cornerstone Rescue Mission.
The clothing drive is part of RSVP’s goal for the upcoming Make A Difference Day on October 26.
Rapid City Communications Coordinator Darrell Shoemaker says, “They can still make a difference with just such a modest investment. They can look in their closets, they can look in their dresser drawers. You know, there’s items that can be purchased for for small amounts of money that’s really going to make a difference.”
Donation items can be dropped off at the RSVP office in the bus depot on 6th …
