If you can donate or know someone that can please contact Calvin Howell at 606-226-5573. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Good evening everyone: Well the floor joists were delivered to the VFW today and the rest of the steel building should be arriving soon. The rain has halted work on the footer for the Veterans Homeless Shelter but hopefully we will be able to get underway again soon. If any of you would like to make a donation to this worthy cause send it to the VFW 3106 S. Lake Drive, Prestonsburg, KY. 41653. I will try to keep everyone posted on the progress.
