Jacklyn Girman of Jefferson Hills started ‘Care Caddy for a Veteran’ in 2016 in memory of her cousin, Army Sgt. George Mackulin.

 

Care1
Jacklyn Girman along with 45 of her friends, family, and community organizations gathered at the Floreffe Fire Hall to help stuff 215 ‘Care Caddies’ for veterans

Jacklyn wanted to give back and show support to those that served our country, so she asked family and friends to sponsor a caddy by purchasing a bag from the company thirtyone, of which she is a consultant.

Jacklyn used her commission from the sales to purchase toiletries and snacks to fill the caddies. When she started this endeavor, she sold and filled 70 caddies. This year the program grew bigger with Jacklyn selling 215 caddies. This year’s caddies were filled with the help of 45 people at the Floreffe Fire Hall. Family and friends were present along with the ‘Warriors of Chaos’ Veteran's Motorcycle Club, and Thomas Jefferson 9U travel baseball team and Thomas Jefferson 3rd grade metro basketball team.

Jacklyn will drop off the Care Caddies to the VA Hospital and the Veterans Leadership Program where they will distribute to the veterans. She hopes to continue to grow this event each year, selling more caddies and having more people volunteer to participate in filling as well.
