Benner Township C.O.V.E.R. Supports Veterans' Home

At the end of 2019, the SCI Benner Township C.O.V.E.R. committee, with support from the Benner Township Employee Association, collected donations for residents of the Hollidaysburg Veterans' Home. Items collected included new/gently-used clothing of all sizes, art supplies, batteries, headphones, seasonal decorations, note pads and hygiene items. Members of the C.O.V.E.R. committee delivered the donations to the home and helped to run a "Country Store Auction" with the residents. All residents were given 20 "dollars" to bid on items, with each bid beginning at $1. Residents, veterans' home staff and members of the committee all had a wonderful time and enjoyed fellowship with one another.

This was the first community outing for the SCI Benner Township C.O.V.E.R. committee, with the intent to find a way to free our minds from the everyday stressors of work and life, while positively contributing to our community.
