Queen Creek veterans club hands out gifts to military veterans
Posted
The Veterans Club at Encanterra in Queen Creek has been gathering Christmas gifts for the residents at the Arizona State Veteran Home for the past six years.
A Veteran Christmas Tree (like an Angel Tree) is put up in the Encanterra lobby with ornaments. On each ornament is a veteran’s name and three gift wishes. The residents of Encanterra take an ornament and buy gifts. More than 150 gifts are distributed.
Before COVID, the Veterans Club was able to deliver gifts to veterans in their rooms at the Arizona State Veteran Home. Last year, club members could only drop off the gifts in the driveway and the Veterans Home staff handed out the gifts.
This year, the Veterans Club will attend the Veteran Home’s Christmas party, where family members can join in. Gifts will be distributed to the veterans at this party on Dec. 23 at 9: 30 a.m.
The Arizona State Veteran Home is a 200-bed, Medicare-certified, skilled-nursing care facility for eligible Arizona veterans. It is in central Phoenix near Indian School Road and Third Street at 4141 N. Silvestre Herrera Way.
