“The Good Ol’ Days House,” a private vacation house rental located at 914 Broad Avenue in North Belle Vernon, is happy to announce another local community event, inviting residents from all over the Mon Valley to participate in an afternoon of fun decorating handmade valentines for vets on Sunday, February 7 from noon - 3 pm.
Join in and share a little love by creating handmade valentine cards with messages to be delivered to local veterans who are receiving care in our area hospitals. Everyone is invited and refreshments will be provided! A variety of materials will be available to make the cards, and feel free to donate items or bring your own if you want to add a little of your own personality and creativity to the cards. Our objective is to send as many sweet valentine messages to our American heroes to make sure they know we appreciate their service and sacrifice.
This former family home of five brothers and WWII veterans participated in the “Sock It To a Vet” Sock Collection Day and collected 1,111 pairs of socks on 11/11 that were delivered to the Oakland VA Hospital and the Washington City Missions. The annual Christmas Pajama Party Drive has benefited the Domestic Violence Services of Southwestern Pennsylvania since 2009.
Melanie Stringhill Patterson, owner of the unique nostalgic vacation house rental business and the former home of her father and grandparents, enjoys opening her doors not only for out-of-town guests looking for a temporary home away from home, but also as a way to reach out and help others in the community who are in need.
