The Navajo Nation Veteran Resource Events - Twin Arrows on 29 June 2023

Native Americans have an incredible military tradition with the largest percentage of military and combat service in the United States.  The Navajo Nation is the largest Native American reservation by area and population; it supports the largest veteran population with at least 15,000 men and women who have served.  We would like to honor these individuals and families by providing veteran resource events to provide essential food, water, firewood and gain access to other available resources, programs and benefits they have earned.

POC Mr. John Davison - 928-286-7446
Reveille Foundation and the Veterans Medical Leadership Council are leading the efforts to support the event from the valley.  Bob Dalpe is the POC from the valley.  623-910-8195

We are looking for more items to be donated, mostly looking for healthier food items.

  • Medical equipment as well as personal health items.
  • Pallets of healthy food items are being requested, sorry no soda, chips and such items are needed.

  • Personal Protective Supplies (Latex gloves, Disposable Haz Mat Suits, Mask/ N95 Masks, Protective eyewear)

  • Diapers, Adult Diapers and Baby wipes or hygiene wipes
  • Personal Hygiene Supplies (antibacterial liquid hand soaps, Shampoo/ Conditioner, tooth paste, toothbrush, Q-tips, Listerine Mouth wash, bar soaps, feminine products)
  • Storage is needed as precise logistics are yet to be determined.
