Slope-area homeless veterans. Participants should arrive before 11 a.m. at VA Western Colorado Health Care’s Community Living Center at 2121 North Ave, Grand Junction, CO 81501. Those


wishing to donate earlier can drop off items at donation boxes at VA’s canteen. VA will hold simultaneous VA2K events at facilities across the nation. Since 2011, more than $3 million in


donations have been raised nationally to help homeless veterans and over 277, 000 participants in the walk.
