On November 3, 2014 the Women of Quail Creek arrived at the Southern Arizona VA Health Care System with 16 vehicles over flowing with donated clothing, household goods and bicycles for our Homeless Veterans. The Tucson VA provides care and services to almost 2,800 homeless Veterans, including over 250 female homeless Veterans. The first meeting of the Women of Quail Creek was held in March of 2004 and with approximately 40 ladies attending. The group continues to meet monthly and has grown to over 290 members. The group’s president since 2009, Peggy McGee, focused the club on reaching out to help others. The Women of Quail Creek have actively supported homeless Veterans and the Tucson VA homeless programs. The ladies have collected clothing, backpacks, personal hygiene items, housewares, and other items for homeless Veterans over the last several years, helping countless Veterans and their families. Their efforts to help homeless Veterans in southern Arizona were recognized nationally as being one of the top 10 in the country during the 2013 Make a Difference Day project.
