Stuff the Truck event to take place Nov. 6
To commemorate Veterans Day, the Michigan Veteran Education Initiative will be collecting donations from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Nov. 6 in the parking lot of the Mount Pleasant Walmart on Encore Drive.
Donations will go to supporting student veterans at Central Michigan University as well as Mid Michigan Community College, Kirtland Community College and deployed soldiers overseas.
“The Student Veterans of America chapters at MMCC, CMU and Kirtland are eager to help other veterans in the community,” said Christopher Stanton, MVEI veteran resource representative at Mid Michigan Community College. “The people of Mount Pleasant are always willing to help veterans and this will certainly be just another example of that support.”
Suggested donations include 3x5 notecards, college-ruled notebooks, headphones, bottled water and other miscellaneous school supplies. Care package donations including baby wipes, beef jerky, powdered sports drinks mix, books and magazines are also encouraged.
For more information, contact Stanton at (989)-773-6622, ext. 147.
