Eagles 2nd Hand thrift store is holding an “Adopt-a-family” fundraiser event for an injured army veteran and his family.
“We are sponsoring a local family, a local disabled veteran and his family,” said Eagles 2nd Hand employee Anne Marie Culp.
“He spent time in Iraq and he just got out of the military a couple of months ago and they are really hurting,” Culp said. The veteran suffered a neck injury and is currently waiting for disability to kick in, but that could take 6-9 months.
To help out, the store will donate 15 percent of all store profits from Dec. 1-20 to the family.
The store will also have Santa Claus available for pictures to raise money for the family. The cost is $5 for a photo with Santa.
“We have until the 20th to make everything happen.”
They will accept non-perishable food, clothing or toys.
“They’ve made out a little wish list for us,” Culp said.
The store is also accepting Paypal donations to the account eagles2ndhand@yahoo.com.
Eagles 2nd Hand is located at 1702 Sixth St. in Bremerton. Their phone number is 360-627-7069.
