COOL Ministries Veterans Assistance program has continually grown over the last couple of years and is now serving over 130 active duty military & Veteran families each and every month!
Please help us help our Veterans! COOL is collecting toiletries to give to Veterans along with their regular monthly food boxes. Please consider donating toiletries, such as toilet paper, paper towels, laundry soap, toothpaste and more. Let’s show our support for those who defended our freedom all year long!
