(Decatur County, IN) – On Tuesday, November 11, local veterans are invited to stop by the Decatur County Community Foundation between 10 a.m.-6 p.m. for a token of appreciation.
For the sixth year in a row the Community Foundation is offering gift cards to local veterans in thanks for their service.
New this year Veteran Service Officer, Ken Mobley, will be in attendance. Mobley will be available to talk with veterans and share updates on the assistance his office can provide.
The Foundation will also be open later this year to accommodate working veterans and later schedules.
The gift cards are made available courtesy of the Ella Jo Briggs Veterans Field of Interest Fund. Mrs. Briggs began the fund in 2017 to support projects, activities, and services for Decatur County veterans.
“We encourage local veterans to stop by the Foundation Office for a token of appreciation,” said Tami Wenning, Executive Director of the Community Foundation. “We hope to reach as many veterans as possible.”
Veterans simply need to stop by the Foundation Office at 101 East Main Street to pick up their gift card.
They can also call ahead at (812) 662-6364 for curbside delivery.
“We are very honored that Mrs. Briggs entrusted the Foundation to help her support her favorite cause – veterans– forever,” said Wenning. “We hope many of Decatur County’s veterans will stop by, receive a token of thanks, and share their stories with us this coming Veterans Day.”
