HOW YOU CAN HELP

FRUIT- After fasting all night before having tests run at the VA outreach clinic,
many Veterans need a little something to help with the weakness. Fruit is purchased
at wholesale prices, to ensure that your donation is stretched, as far as possible.

DISCOUNTS FOR VETERANS- Providing a Veterans discount can mean new customers,
for a business, by those who might not have heard of and/or visited your business
before.  (More info at the bottom of this page.)

HOSPITALIZED VETERANS Some veterans enter the hospital with nothing-- not even a
toothbrush. Others are there for so long the items, such as shaving cream or deodorant
that they brought with them, has run out.   Needed items

OAVN EXPIRED COUPON PROJECT is a new project for Oklahoma American Veterans News.

You may find it easier to use paypal and have volunteers purchase items for you.

Your financial support helps with veterans needs throughout the year,
as well as the "Christmas For the Kids" program, for local less fortunate
children. For more than twenty years, this program has been helping kids
with such things as toys and clothes.

OAVN STRETCHES EVERY DOLLAR YOU DONATE 

In the fall of 2009, OAVN made the decision to contact past donors by mail,
saving on phone and office expenses and allowing donations go directly to our
worthwhile programs.

No money is paid in salaries. OAVN volunteers have a sincere desire to
help our Veterans. 

BUSINESSES HONORING VETERANS

Veterans appreciate discounts but even more, they value the support shown
by businesses in providing a "Veteran's Discount."

Offering a Veterans discount can mean new customers who might not
have visited your business before end up as repeat customers.

Advertising in traditional ways, in order to reach Veterans with a discount, can
be expensive. Door flyers can be a waste of both time and your advertising dollar
when there is no way of knowing if anyone living in the home is a Veteran.

In the past, businesses might advertise by offering a discount in a coupon book.
In these changing economic times, it can be harder for people to come up with
money to purchase a book, in order to receive the discount.

During SALUTE TO HOSPITALIZED VETERANS WEEK, OAVN volunteers
gave out discount coupons provided by sponsors. Several of the businesses have
told us they were pleased at the business generated, from the distribution of those
discount coupons and refer to it as a grassroots approach!
