“Tis the season for giving. We are currently collecting donations for Service Veterans and Deployed Troops through Soldiers’ Angels to be given during the holidays. Now through Lewisville’s Holiday at the Hall event, you can drop off your donations at Beasley’s Jewelry. A donation of one twin-sized fleece blanket will keep a soldier or veteran warm for the holidays and let them know that they are loved! They are truly the reason that we have the freedom to enjoy events like “Holiday at the Hall” in our community. These blankets are going to not only be a symbol of our appreciation, but will help them to keep warm during the winter months. We will be more than happy to take any donation that is received. Abbey Day of Beasley’s Jewelry will be personally delivering half of the donated blankets to the VA Hospital in Denton, TX. The other half of the donated blankets and all toiletry/care package items will be shipped overseas to Serving US Troops in Afghanistan. You can drop off your donation at Beasley’s Jewelry in Lewisville, TX at anytime between now and December 3, 2012.
The following is a list of items that we can accept for donation:
