Verona Health Department The Verona Children’s Fund has been in existence and surviving on the donations of Verona residents since the early 1980’s. Its’ purpose is to keep children in the main stream while their parents are recovering from financial hardship brought about by illness, death, unemployment, divorce etc. It provides lunches, food gift certificates, recreational and school programs, and also covers some medication and medical needs. It is a resource not only for the material but for information and referral as well. If you would like to donate to the Children’s Fund to assist families in your community, know that 100% of your donation goes directly back out to help Verona Children. If this is not your cause pick another and donate (no matter how small). If you don’t have money, but an extra can of food donate to your local food pantry which again goes directly back into the community to feed the hungry. If you don’t have money or extra food staples donate time. Once again this year the Salvation Army will allow us to use their kettle at Kings and all the proceeds acquired come back to Verona.
