🌲🎁 The Fargo VA has a "Veterans Giving Tree" and holiday display at the front entrance again this year! 🎁🌲
📅 The Giving Tree will be on display until just after the new year.
The Veterans Giving Tree program helps us meet the emergent needs of the unique and diverse Veteran population served by the Fargo VA Health Care System. These items will be used throughout the year as needed for Veterans; they are not individual requests made by specific Veterans.
📍 Donations of requested items may be left with any Red Coat Volunteer in the lobby of the North Main Entrance Monday through Friday from 8 am - 3 pm.
✨ If you would like to receive an acknowledgment letter for your tax-deductible contribution, please leave your contact information with your donation.
🔗 For those unable to pull a tag directly off the tree, requested items can also be found at DreamList.com/for/fargovagivingtree
Participation in the Veterans Giving Tree program is purely voluntary; there is no expectation that Veterans, staff, or community members contribute toward this cause.
📏 All donated items must be new with tags and/or in original packaging. We also ask that you do not gift wrap any of the donated items.
📞 For any questions, please contact the Fargo VA’s Center for Development & Civic Engagement at 701-239-3700 ext. 3395 or vhafarvol@va.gov.
Thank you for your generosity and support! ❤️

The holiday season is in full swing at the Fargo VA, and the generosity of our community never fails to impress! Among dozens of organizational and private donations, some of the highlights of the past week included: The National Society Daughters of 1812 (MN Society) stopped by to make a $350 donation to support women Veterans. Optum Serve donated one hundred backpacks with supplies for homeless and at-risk Veterans at the Community Resource and Referral Center (CRRC). Several churches donated dozens of quilts to keep our inpatients warm and comfortable. Sandy’s Donuts spread some holiday cheer amongst Veterans and staff by bringing in several dozens of donuts. The American Legion Auxiliary #242 donated two carts full of supplies to support Veterans in need. The DAV Auxiliary #38 brought a carload of emergency food bags, and the American Legion Department of ND held their annual gift shop, which gives inpatient Veterans a chance to pick an item for themselves as well as for a loved one and have it gift-wrapped on the spot.
The Holiday Giving Tree has received over $7,600 worth of emergent needs items for our homeless and at-risk Veterans, and we still have all of December to look forward to. Thank you, service organizations and members of our community, for keeping our nation’s heroes in your hearts this holiday season!
