🌺Aloha from the Washington Veterans Home🌺

Hawaiian Days brought a little island spirit to the home, with one special day featuring a fun musubi-making group and beautiful ukulele entertainment from Dr. Singer 🌴🎶

It's just one example of the many fun and meaningful activities our residents get to enjoy- from themed days and music to good food, laughter and time spent together. Sometimes, it's the simplest moments that feel the most peaceful and special.

A little aloha, a little music, and plenty of smiles make for wonderful days at the Washington Veterans home 🤙

Let's fill those boxes! 🇺🇸📦

It's time again to help us gear up to put together 40 Single Sailor Boxes for our service members! 🇺🇸

Stop in and take a look at the bulletin board to see what items we're collecting and what we're hoping to send to these sailors. Every donation helps us show a little extra appreciation and support to those serving our country. ❤💙
