Christmas Initiative:
As the holiday season approaches, SSAFA Grampian is organising Christmas hampers for struggling and homeless veterans. They are seeking donations from local businesses, which can include financial contributions or items that could be included in the hampers.
All businesses that contribute will be acknowledged on SSAFA Grampian’s social media platforms as a token of appreciation.
If your business can assist in this initiative, please consider making a donation. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those who have served our country.
