On Saturday, Oct. 26, the Helping Veterans and Families (HVAF) facility located in the 900 block of North Pennsylvania Street in Indianapolis suffered catastrophic damage after a fire broke out in the building. At this location, HVAF provides housing for more than 50 homeless veterans, as well as operating a clothing and food pantry for veterans in need.
The Westfield Lions Club has been a strong and active supporter of HVAF for several years. This has included collecting food and clothing for veterans and their families along with donating more than $10,000 to HVAF’s operation.
Recognizing HVAF’s urgent need for assistance after the fire, the Lions immediately stepped up to make a $1,500 donation to help with the costs of finding temporary housing, food, and clothing for the displaced vets.
The HVAF is committed to helping veterans suffering from homelessness, unemployment, and psychological issues. This tremendous organization, and the veterans it serves, needs the community’s help. The Westfield Lions urge you to please visit hvafofindiana.org to find out how you can make a monetary donation or donate food, clothing, and furniture.
