GivingTuesday – November 28, 2023

It’s a simple idea: whether it’s making someone smile, helping a neighbor or
stranger out, showing up for an issue or people we care about, or giving some of what
we have to those who need our help, every act of generosity counts and everyone has
something to contribute toward building the better world we all want to live in.
Aleda E. Lutz VAMC, located at 1500 Weiss St., Saginaw, MI 48602, is hosting
GivingTuesday on November 28, 2023 to engage the community to support Veterans.
We will be accepting donations from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the main entrance of the
facility. We are asking for donations of winter gloves, hats and thermal socks that are
new and have tags intact to ensure we are giving the absolute best to Veterans. “Since
the inception of GivingTuesday, back in 2012, we have seen the thoughtfulness and
concern people feel for Veterans, as they have given generously over the years,” stated
Adam Hayward-Lupo, Chief of Center for Development and Community Engagement
(formerly known as Voluntary Service). “These items really help Veterans get through
the winter months. They are always grateful and express their appreciation of the
community support. We look forward to this time of year as donations come in and
impact the lives of Veterans and are thankful for the support.”
The Aleda E. Lutz VAMC in Saginaw, Michigan operates an 81-bed skilled nursing and
rehabilitation Community Living Center. It provides care to over 40,171 Veterans in a
35-county geographic area, from mid-Michigan to the Mackinac Bridge. Veterans can
also receive care at one of our nine VA Community Based Outpatient Clinics located
throughout Michigan. More information about this VA can be found at
