Last week, at the Grand Island VA Medical Center, we had the pleasure of welcoming a group of energetic young visitors from Third City Christian Church summer kids’ program, which serves 1st through 5th graders. The church reached out to partner with us for a meaningful community outreach event focused on honoring and connecting with our Veterans.

Gina Woods, Health Systems Specialist & Rural Health Training Coordinator for VA Nebraska-Western Health Care System, kicked off the day talking with the kids about the VA—who we serve and the services we provide. Inspired by the conversation, the students spent their morning assembling care packages for our Veterans.

After lunch, the group visited our VA campus where they teamed up with Alison Dillon, NWI Recreation Therapist for the Community Living Center. Together, they helped bring our inpatient outside to enjoy the sunshine, sidewalk chalk art, music, and ice cream bars. The kids personally delivered their handmade goodie bags and spent time chatting with the Veterans, creating a heartfelt and memorable experience for all.

It was a day filled with smiles, connection, and gratitude—showing the power of community and the impact of even the smallest acts of kindness. Both the children and our Veterans left with full hearts.
