12th District Council, Department of Ohio

The chilly winds of late fall are upon us. Nights are starting to get cold.
So we must continue our efforts to reach out to our homeless vets. Every day in
Central Ohio, hundreds of them roam the streets---cold, lonely, hungry, dirty,
miserable, needing a shower, without homes, despondent---abandoned.
We HAVE to help. These patriots risked life and limb for our country.
Let's not turn our back on them.
If you know of ANY homeless veteran in Reynoldsburg who desperately
needs help, contact any one of our post officers, the
12th District Council Office  (Open M-W-F, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.)
at (614) 224-2900, or
any Central Ohio American Legion post.
