JOHN DAY – Unwrapped items for the veterans “store” at the Portland Veterans Administration Medical Center are still being accepted through Saturday, Nov. 14, at Mosier’s Home Furnishings in John Day.

The Veterans Gift Shop project, organized by the Ellis Tracy Unit of the American Legion Auxiliary, allows veterans at the Portland hospital, many of whom have little or no income, to be able to “shop” for free gifts for their families.
