Veterans Outreach Now Has Help Van

It’s an effort by Central Oregon veterans outreach to provide free medical help to homeless veterans in Central Oregon. “We've been working to try and put together a team of medical providers who could go out into the camps. NeighborImpact donated to us their old answer van. It wasn't running. A group of vets got together, got it towed over to a place where another couple of vets worked on it, got the diesel engine running.” Chuck Hemingway is the Executive Director of the Central Oregon Veterans Outreach. Fuqua homes and Beaver Coaches have also made donations of material. Hemingway is hoping by the first of the year to get out into the homeless camps with volunteer medical providers to provide basic care services to veterans and the other homeless in the camps.
