‘It gives them a sense of purpose’
Veterans get chance to work with wood
LA SALLE, Ill. — Stacks of small wooden planks and cutouts of candy canes, ornaments and bells were stacked on a table in a communal hall at the La Salle Veterans Home Thursday.
As residents filtered in, with the help of volunteers they found their way to the table to collect supplies for their monthly woodworking activity. For October, the craft was to create a standing Christmas tree that would be painted and decked out with the cutouts.
