The Hands Up Vetlink Veteran Service Center located in Richmond is a non-profit Resource Center that serves approximately 140 homeless veterans in the city and surrounding areas. They provide two meals a day, have laundry, shower facilities, computer access and more for the veterans. This is a small store front so they can’t store a lot of items but they have many needs. The American Legion Auxiliary Juniors from Goochland Unit 215 developed “Blessing Bags” for donations of basic essentials needed by the veterans. They filled 28 bags which were then delivered to the shelter. Many were handed out immediately to the veterans in the building.
