Treats for Troops
Donate your excess Halloween candy to Soldiers’ Angels "Treats for Troops" program. Soldiers' Angels will get this candy to our Troops and Veterans for a sweet treat.
Throughout the month of November, the Voorheesville Public Library will be a collection site, so drop off any leftover Halloween candy or candy donations and we will box it up and ship it to Soldiers’ Angels.
Collecting for military care packages
Throughout the month of November, the Voorheesville Public Library will be collecting items specifically requested by military members who have recently been deployed around the globe.
These items will be packaged and sent to our troops just in time for the holidays. For a list of items being requested, please stop by the Voorheesville Public Library or check online at www.voorheesvillelibrary.org.
Teens care for veterans
Out-of-town veterans, and their families, stay at the Fisher House in Albany while receiving treatment at the Stratton Veterans Affairs Medical Center. On Friday, November 3, teens can spend their afternoon off making and packaging sweet treats for these Veterans.
Participants will earn 2 hours of community service credit. Pizza and beverages will be served, or you may bring your own lunch. For grades six and up, please register.
