America’s newest combat veterans are returning home in record numbers. Facing battle injuries and emotional trauma, many of these veterans are confined to extended health care where loneliness is a way of life. Too often their families and friends live far away from the nearest VA facility or are too busy to visit on a regular basis. This is why Hershocks, Inc. of Harrisburg PA continues its efforts to honor those who have served our country by sponsoring the 5th Annual “Support Our Veterans Silent Auction” to benefit hospitalized veterans at the VA Medical Center located in Lebanon, PA.
The auction takes place during the Harrisburg Senators home baseball game on Friday, Aug. 22. Bids will be accepted during the game through the seventh inning. Top bidders can retrieve their items following the seventh inning stretch. (Please read below for the most up-to-date list of auction items.)
The silent auction takes place during the Harrisburg Senators home baseball game on Thursday, Aug. 30. Bids will be accepted during the game, and the names of the top bidders will be announced after the seventh inning. (Please read below for the most up-to-date list of auction items.)
All the money raised from this auction will be used to provide comfort items (i.e. toothbrushes, denture powder and brushes, combs, shaving cream, etc.) and services (televisions, wheelchairs, and recreation programs) to enhance the stay of hospitalized veterans. The federal government does not provide “comfort items and services”.
To date, Hershocks has raised $19,045.00 for the Lebanon VA Medical Center residents.
“Early bird” bids can also be placed by visiting Hershocks showroom, located at 3501 N. 6th Street in Harrisburg starting Monday, August 18. For more information, please call Hershocks, Inc. at 238-7331.
