CHARLOTTE HALL, Md. – The holiday season is a time for reflection, gratitude, and generosity. As communities come together to celebrate, it’s also an opportunity to give back to those in need, especially those who have sacrificed so much for our country. Whether through donating time, resources, or gifts, giving back during the holidays can bring warmth and joy to others, making the season brighter for everyone involved.
The Charlotte Hall Veterans Home is offering two meaningful ways for community members to give back to veterans this holiday season.
Adopt a Resident at Charlotte Hall Veterans Home
Individuals interested in making the holidays special for a resident at the home can adopt a resident and purchase them a gift. Sade’ Herbert, the contact person for the initiative, encourages those who wish to participate to reach out for more information. Interested donors will be provided with a number, the resident’s gender, preferences, and needs, while keeping their identity anonymous. All gifts must be submitted by Dec. 15, 2024. To adopt a resident, contact Herbert at 301-884-8171 ext. 5143 or via email at sade.herbert@pruitthealth.com.
Donate to Charlotte Hall Veterans Home Holiday Wish List
Community members also have the option to donate items from the Charlotte Hall Veteran’s Home 2024 Holiday Wish List. All donations must be new and will be accepted through Dec. 16, 2024. Items needed include sensitive skin lotion, shaving materials, shampoo, closed-toed Velcro slippers, sunglasses, sweatpants, pajama pants, men’s shirts, ladies’ pants, winter coats, and neck pillows. For any questions regarding donations, Sade’ Herbert can be reached Monday through Friday, between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., at 301-884-8171 ext. 5143 or by email at sade.herbert@pruitthealth.com.
