14th Annual Troy Police VFW Post ##4037 Sponsored Food & Gift Drive!! With the holiday season just around the corner our
annual food/gift drive is in the process of soliciting assistance throughout
the Troy business, government and residential community in collecting
food/gifts, financial donations and adopting families in Troy who require
assistance. Recent economic troubles have hit
everyone in our area, but with disproportionate impact to those already
experiencing economic hardships. Our well-organized
groups of dedicated and caring Troy volunteers ensure that collected
Food/Gift contributions are given directly to those persons needing
assistance. Again we call upon our community volunteers to keep this annual program running smoothly. This is my fourth year coordinating the
food/gift drive along with Charlie Solis of the VFW and I look forward to
assisting you in this worthwhile program.
Please contact me with your point of contact person, any ideas, family
adoption requests and coordination concerns. P.O.
