Veterans' Groups Collaborate to Brighten the Holidays

Coconut Telegraph

On December 7th, organizations including Goodwill Manasota, SRQ Vets, Vets 2 Success, and VFW 3233 held a Christmas Toy Drive & Breakfast at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3233. The organizations gathered to remember the infamous attack on Pearl Harbor and worked together to make a brighter day for veterans and families in need. The public was invited to attend the event, which featured delicious food – sponsored by Detwiler’s Farm Market – including an omelet bar, home fries, sausage and bacon, a yogurt/oatmeal bar, fresh bread, and beverages. All financial donations were split between the four presenting organizations and went to their relief funds for veterans in need; all toys were distributed by Toys-for-Tots.
