Spare Wheelchairs Find New Purpose

Marvin Burnett, Commander DAV Post 23
and Jeff Spoclstra, DAV Chapter 23.

The Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs recently partnered with Veterans & Friends of Puget Sound and Chapter 23 (West Seattle) of the Disabled American Veterans to donate wheelchairs left behind by veterans or their families at the Washington Veterans Home, Retsil, or the Washington Soldiers Home, Orting.
DAV Chapter 23 was able to offer many of these wheelchairs to the VA Medical Center Seattle Campus where they will help transport veterans to and from appointments at the VAMC.
WDVA intends to continue working with the Veterans & Friends of Puget Sound and DAV Chapter 23 to ensure any chairs donated by veterans or their family members are provided to organizations or veterans who need them.
