Urgent Appeal for Generous Support to Restore Our Women Veterans Home

We regret to inform you that our recently renovated veterans home for women has been burglarized, resulting in the theft of several invaluable items. The perpetrators have taken off with essential plumbing, the furnace, ductwork, and many other pieces of vital equipment. This unfortunate incident has created a significant setback for us, as we endeavor to offer our women veterans a comfortable and safe environment in which to reside.

We understand the gravity of the situation and humbly request your help. We are accepting tax-deductible donations, and your contribution will go a long way in restoring our veteran’s home and ensuring that our women veterans receive the care and support they deserve.

Thank you for your consideration and support in this matter.

Trust the Facts, Get the Vax

Myth: COVID-19 is Just the flu!

COVID-19 and the flu are not the same, they are caused by different viruses.

They have similar symptoms, but COVID-19 has a longer incubation period compared to the flu.

Schedule a free vaccination today to stop the spread!

Myth: Getting Vaccinated Will Make You Sick!

FACT: The vaccine does not contain any live or inactive portion of the COVID-19 virus.

You may experience mild side effects such as pain at the injection site, fatigue, headache, and muscle aches.

Schedule your vaccine today!

MYTH: I’m Not High Risk, So I Don’t Need The Vaccine.

FACT: Everybody’s body reacts differently to the COVID-19 virus.

Even if you don’t fit into the category of someone who is at severe risk of COVID-19, you could still develop life threatening symptoms.

The vaccine helps protect you and the community! Trust the facts, get the vax!

MYTH: Ingredients In The Vaccine Are Dangerous.

FACTS: Many of the ingredients in the COVID-19 vaccine are the same ingredients in the food you buy: fats, sugars, and salts.

There are NO preservatives, fetal cells, antibiotics, food proteins, medicines, latex or metals.

The vaccine is safe for everyone! Schedule an appointment today!

MYTH: COVID-19 Will Cause Fertility Problems.

FACT: There is no evidence that the COVID-19 vaccine causes fertility problems.

Studies show that there is no risk of miscarriage or changes in fertility for men or women.

Pregnant women and couples trying to get pregnant are safe to get the vaccine. Schedule an appointment today!
