A.B.A.T.E. of Iowa District 15 donates money and supplies to Quad Cities Veterans Outreach Center
May is Motorcycle Awareness Month, and ABATE of Iowa District 15, many of whose members are veterans themselves, took the opportunity to honor and help local veterans.
The group collected toiletries and supplies and dropped them and a donation of $740 raised to the Quad City Veterans Outreach Center in Davenport. Sandy Van Atta, Daily Operations Manager of the center, said the greatest need is for food and toiletry items. The center receives no funding from state or national offices and relies on donations from the public. She said the donations mean a lot, especially when coming from veterans.
The Quad City Veterans Outreach Center provides the following programs and services to veterans free of charge:
- Food pantry
- Help with job placement
- Assistance with housing
- Veterans’ benefit assistance counseling
- Informational help
