Kids at Gary United Methodist Church in Wheaton help homeless veterans

Children at Gary United Methodist Church in Wheaton collected cleaning supplies and personal hygiene items to donate to the Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans.

During their Kids' Church time, they made more than 40 cards to give to the veterans.

Every month, kids age 3 through fifth grade have what they call "Helping Hands."

It's a Sunday when they use their hands to help a charitable organization - locally, nationally or even globally.
