For just the second time during the four years of our Club has been collecting to provide these Holiday (Thanksgiving and Christmas) meals for needy veterans who have served our country at home and abroad a donor has anonymously donated a $100.00 bill. 

Over the couse of our four 2019 collections this fall, unselfish shoppers have donated an amazing total of $4,714.10

This brings also brings our four year total collections to just shy of $15,000!
