Little Rock-Centennial Chapter members were thrilled to visit the Voluntary Services Office at Towbin Healthcare Center VA in North Little Rock, Arkansas to donate eighty face masks made by our chapter members. Our chapter also donated one sewing machine to the Sew With Veterans program at the VA. Veterans use the sewing machines to make face masks.

It was an honor to be with Arkansas State Regent Junelle Mongno as she donated a sewing machine from ASDAR. Thank you to our Chapter members for their commitment and dedication in Today’s DAR!
