10th annual Thanksgiving meal distribution event

Yesterday, the Veteran Services Office held the 10th annual Thanksgiving meal distribution event. 

County Commissioners Arlene Tuck, Scott Kirouac, and Don Elwell, along with your VSO staff and volunteers, handed out baskets with fixings for a holiday dinner and all the trimmings to about 35 local veterans and their families. 

Thank you to the Veterans Council of Highlands County, Faith Baptist Church in Lake Placid, Military Officers Association of America, Sons of American Legion Post 25, and an anonymous donor for helping to make this event happen for our local veterans.

If you are a veteran, a family member of a veteran, or know someone who is, and you need assistance, please call 863-402-6623 so staff can help.
