Hart VFW seeks donations of cans and bottles to help keep the post open for future programming

The Hart VFW William Negake Post 1329 is asking for the public's help in keeping the VFW Post in Hart open. Due to the continued increasing cost for utilities, building maintenance and insurance, the post is running out of funds to maintain the building. If the post is forced to close due to lack of funding, the community will lose out on the services that we currently provide, which are: 

• VA medical teams that provide assistance to area veterans every Thursday. 

• The American Red Cross conducts blood drives every other month. 

• Military funeral services that are provided for Oceana County veterans. 

• The support of local Scouting programs. 

The hall is provided for the above programs at no cost. 

The Hart VFW is asking for an ongoing program of donations of returnable cans and bottles for the post, to help offset their costs. They can be dropped off at the hall or the car wash across the street from the hall or pick-up can be arranged The pick-up phone number is 231-873-1727, and  ask for Steve or leave a call-back number.
