Stony Point Senior Citizens Club II has graciously donated $1000 to Homes For Heroes. The funds were raised by raffling off lovely afghan quilts knitted by the senior club’s Busy Bees group. A check was presented to former Marine and Homes for Heroes President, Legislator John Murphy, by the senior club’s president, Thomas Robinson. Both Rockland County Legislator John Murphy and Stony Point Councilman Jim Monaghan thanked the large gathering of Stony Point’s seniors for contributing to this most worthy community project.
The generosity of the Stony Point Senior Citizens Club II will assist Homes For Heroes in building rental apartments built for our honorably discharged, disabled and displaced, men and women Veterans. Phase I consists of 8 apartments built on the former Camp Shanks, in Tappan, N.Y., from which over 1.3 million GI’s left to fight in Europe during WWII. With 1 in 20 homeless in America being homeless Veterans, Phase II is underway to address the urgent need to house homeless Veterans permanently.
To help Homes for Heroes reach their goal of building more affordable rental apartments for Veterans, check donations can be mailed to Homes For Heroes, Inc., One Blue Hill Plaza, P.O. Box 1648, Pearl River, NY 10965 or credit card donations can be made via www.RocklandHomesForHeroes.Com. Please call Sarah Wade at 845-735-0515, if you have any further questions.
