Dept. of Veterans Affairs - TN Valley Healthcare System

While at the VA Medical Center in Murfreesboro, TN, I picked up a needs list for that facility.

I am posting the list here so you will be aware of the needs of that facility. If you would like to donate to the VA Medical Center, their address is 3400 Lebanon Rd, Murfreesboro, TN. If you can't take the donation there, let me know. I will see what I can do to get the items to the Medical Center. You can call (615-225-6497) for info on making monetary donations.
