Jeanne Sorg, the Montgomery County Recorder of Deeds, is holding her annual holiday donation drive to benefit the Veteran’s Multi-Service Center (VMC). The VMC helps veterans experiencing homelessness access services and benefits. The donation drive will run through the end of December and items can be dropped off at the Recorder of Deeds office at One Montgomery Plaza in Norristown.
The Veteran’s Multi-Service Center’s “wish list” this holiday season includes small personal hygiene items, new underwear, shirts, hats, gloves, and scarves. The center is also requesting laundry detergent pods for the homeless veterans who come into the center to use the laundry facilities, so these veterans do not need to purchase detergent.
“We know these are trying times, and this year has been especially difficult for everyone. For those who are looking for a way to give back to these brave men and women this holiday season, this donation drive is a way to say thank you and support our area veterans,” said Sorg. “My office serves veterans and their families throughout the year, and during the holiday season I reflect on their service and sacrifice, which allows us to feel safe and spend the holidays with our families.”
While the Recorder of Deeds office is helping veterans this holiday season, Sorg and her staff assist veterans all year-round. Montgomery County veterans can visit the Recorder of Deeds office to record their military discharge papers. Recording military discharge papers with the Recorder of Deeds safeguards these important documents so they are quickly accessible to the veteran and their family when they are needed most. Veterans who record their discharge papers will receive a Veterans’ Discount ID card, which is good for discounts at more than 650 business throughout Montgomery County.
If you or someone you know if a veteran who needs help or is experiencing homelessness, contact the Veterans Multi-Service Center at 610-384-8387 or by e-mail at [email protected].
The Montgomery County Recorder of Deeds office is located at One Montgomery Plaza in Norristown and is open to the public Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. To learn more about the Veterans’ Discount ID program visit www.montcopa.org/rod, or call the office at 610-278-3289.
