Gift Card Collection
As you may imagine, money can get tight for the families as they reside in the outpatient facilities both on and off base during the healing and recovery period. OSC regularly distributes gift cards (Target, Wal-Mart, local restaurants to DC and Maryland), grocery cards (Safeway, Giant, etc.) gasoline cards and check cards (Visa, American Express, etc.) to wounded veterans and family members in need.
Say Thank You
Over the years, OSC has received and passed on thousands of cards saying thank you to the wounded veterans recovering at WRAMC. If you, your family or community wish to say thank you, a simple card goes a long way.
We ask that all cards come in unsealed envelopes or in a larger package, without an envelope. A member of the OSC teams sorts through the cards prior to delivery to insure they are appropriate and in good taste. Envelopes are discarded for security and safety reasons.
