The Preston Trail Chapter NSDAR donated two motorized mobility scooters to the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post #2772. The post in turn provides free wheelchairs and mobility units to veterans in need.
DAR members support countless patriotic projects and endeavors, many of which honor the brave men and women who serve or have served our country in the U.S. Armed Forces, and all of which are beneficial.
Opening Doors for Disabled Veterans is an assistance program offered by Preston Trail NSDAR to all disabled veterans in Grayson County. The program is designed to assist veterans with widening interior doorways to an accessible width of 36” allowing for a wheelchair or walker. Also included in the program parameters are installing walk in showers, hand grips, and accessible toilets where needed. Applications for assistance can be found at the VFW #2772 in Sherman and at the Grayson County Veteran Services Office, Jimmy Petty.
