Grand Black Veterans get creative for Veterans Day

JJ Cardinal’s Wild Bird and Nature Store in collaboration with Help Heal Veterans is hosting a special two-day event this November in honor of Veterans Day.

Since 1971, Help Heal Veterans has provided active-duty military individuals and veterans with free craft kits. Their therapeutic kits serve as a valuable tool for treating conditions like PTSD, depression, and anxiety, while also aiding in pain relief and improving motor skills. JJ Cardinal’s on the other hand is a store that offers bird care products, and unique gifts. They also promote appreciation for nature by blending imagination, gardening, and art.

The event will start with a welcome meeting, including coffee and refreshments. Following the welcome, participants will dive into various projects, using all the supplies provided. Veterans and their relatives will try their hand at leatherworking, painting, woodworking, and cardmaking. These projects aim to promote creativity and provide a space for veterans to connect in a supporting, community-focused environment.

In addition to the crafting activities, the event will collect appreciation cards. These cards will be incorporated into kits that Help Heal Veterans will distribute to vets. For more information or to register, attendees can visit the JJ Cardinal listing or call 810-695-8733.

Print shops can be useful in printing gratitude cards for events such as this one.

This craft event is scheduled for Saturday, November 9th at 10 am, and Sunday, November 10th at 11 am. 12830 S Saginaw Street Grand Blanc, Michigan will be the location.
