According to company CEO, Larry Alterwitz, Walker Furniture created the Help for Heroes Attorneys at Law
program to “help make day-to-day living a little easier for a segment of the community that is often
overlooked.”

Alterwitz said this year, Help for Heroes will once again provide some relief for 10 active military 8JHXBN1BSLXBZt)FOEFSTPO

personnel and/or veterans. The program runs through June 26th and relies on letters from the
community, describing the situations of prospective recipients. www.drsltd.com

“We must remember what these men and women have sacrificed and done for us,” Alterwitz said.
“The Veterans Administration helps them, but is limited in what they can do beyond their medical
needs.” Walker Furniture will provide certain necessary items that are not generally available
through the VA, such as lift chairs, adjustable beds, new mattresses, dining sets and a variety of
other possibilities. Each delivery will be specific to the needs of each recipient.

Letters received by Walker Furniture will be reviewed and evaluated by an independent panel
headed by Commander John Rupe of the American Legion Paradise Post 149. The post commander
will personally visit each prospective recipient to evaluate their individual needs. The furniture
items will be delivered shortly after a special presentation event, to be held at the American Legion
Paradise Post 149 in early July.

Letters should be sent to:

Alterwitz said several local non-profit organizations have come forward to offer assistance toward
Help for Heroes, including the Las Vegas Rescue Mission, which will give food and other items to
recipients if needed, as well as support in many other areas. Famous Dave’s will also partner with
Walker and hold a food drive at all their valley locations, Famous Dave’s will also provide food for
the Veterans and their families at the special event.

In conjunction with Help for Heroes, Walker Furniture is also asking the community to drop off
non-perishable food items and toiletries to the company’s Main Showroom at 301 S. Martin Luther
King Blvd. or the Walker Warehouse/Outlet at 4150 E. Cheyenne Ave. All donated items will go
toward supplying the food pantry at the American Legion Paradise Post 149. Alterwitz noted that
with enough support from the community, the food collected could provide the pantry with enough
reserves to last until the end of the year.
