My Nonprofit Reviews

On August 28th 2022 Veterans from WWII, KOREA, VIETNAM and the citizens of Newport News were blessed beyond their wildest imagination by the Jenkins Donelson Foundation in a giveaway celebration that almost defies description. Carolyn and Robert Jenkins knew that our military veterans, their families, and the needy were more often overlooked and forgotten than celebrated; what can we do, they asked? Recruiting the African American Historical Society of Newport News as partners they launched a most ambitious giveaway campaign this city has ever seen. Congressman, mayor, Veterans Administration, American Legion, City of Newport News, and a host of vendors, volunteers, and citizens to this day marvel and speak with the highest praise and gratitude to the Jenkins Donelson Foundation for their grand giveaway. We're honored to share a few words of recognition.
