In celebration of Veterans Day, JJ Cardinal’s Wild Bird & Nature Store is proud to announce a two-day event dedicated to honoring our nation’s veterans. We are teaming up with Help Heal Veterans whose mission is Healing the Invisible Wounds of War Through Creativity. On November 9th and 10th. Veterans and their families are invited to participate in an event designed to foster creativity and community. The events will start on Saturday at 10am and on Sunday at 11am with a welcome and coffee and treats. Class will begin immediately after.
This exciting event will provide veterans and their families with all the materials needed to create personalized arts and crafts projects. Crafts include leathermaking, woodworking, painting and cardmaking. This will provide veterans the opportunity to express their creativity and connect with fellow veterans in a supportive environment.
We are also collecting gratitude cards to be included in HHV kits. No envelope is required just some words of kindness. Drop off your cards at JJ’s by Nov 10. We appreciate the community’s support.
