about making a monetary donation or the various patient projects that are
currently in need of your support.
In-Kind Donations
The VA Maryland Health Care System accepts in-kind
donations of certain toiletries, books, magazines,
lap robes, clothing and other miscellaneous
items. These donations are used for the comfort and enjoyment of
our veteran patients
while they are receiving care at any one of our facilities. The need
for in-kind
donations varies at each facility, so we ask that you to contact one
of our staff members in our Voluntary Service
Office for a listing of our current
needs.
Bequests
Another way you can support the needs of hospitalized
veterans who are receiving care throughout the VA Maryland Health
Care System is through
the form of
a bequest. A bequest allows an individual to leave a portion or all of
their estate to the VA Maryland Health Care System or one of our facilities
as
a
part of their Will. There are several rooms and facilities throughout
the VA Maryland Health Care System that have been named in honor
of community
members
and veteran patients who have made significant contributions as directed
in their Will to support our hospitalized veterans. For additional information
about making a bequest to the VA Maryland Health Care System, please
contact our Community Development Specialist for the VA Maryland
Health Care System
at 1-800-949-1003, ext. 5409.
