Three Jewish War Veterans Copper State Post 619 members recently posed for a photo while displaying bus tickets.

Those were a few of the 250 city bus tickets that Post 619 is donating to the Phoenix V.A. Medical Center for distribution to veterans who need transportation.

The bus-ticket project is one of the many Jewish War Veterans Post 619 special or regular ongoing charity drives to help veterans in need.

The post is part of a national Jewish War Vets organization that has several benevolent programs, including local specialty ones and those done on a more national scale.

Some of JWV’s programs include SOS, or the Support Our Servicemembers program, which sends kosher care packages to military on deployments, several youth engagement leadership programs, legislative priorities and the Project Maggid storytellers program.

JWV Post 619, which meets the third Sunday of every month from September to June, boasts members who represent a wide range of religious affiliations and participates in philanthropic activities to help veterans of all faiths.
