Monetary donations will also be accepted. Those who wish to make a monetary donation may send it to Help For Veterans, P.O. Box 1712, Dillon, S.C. 29536.Items will be distributed to needy veterans in Dillon County by Help For Veterans, Inc. members.
The rising costs of food and inflation are affecting everyone including some of our local veterans.
They need extra help to get through these hard economic times, and while many groups help out around the holidays, the summer months can be a particularly difficult time for needy veterans to make it through to the next holiday. This is where Help For Veterans steps in and attempts to help meet those needs.
