Other items needed beyond cash donations

Because PVMSEC runs 2 housing facilities for homeless Vets a number of items are needed that may be easier for some people or companies to donate instead of money. Some are inexpensive, others are services. There are also some big ticket items, but it's always possible that a person or company in our area either manufactures or has company from whom they can solicit these items. Any of the items on the list can be dropped of at the center itself. Smaller items can be dropped off at the Radiothon site on June 15th.
