Mercer County Veteran Services is conducting its annual donation drive to help veterans and their families enjoy the comforts of a hot meal on each holiday.
Last year the county exceeded their goal, raising more than $10,000 for the cause.
Rather than collecting donations of food, the Division of Veteran Services accepts monetary donations that go toward the purchase of ShopRite gift cards veterans can use to buy items for holiday meals. Veterans receive gift cards in time for holiday meal preparations.
Mercer County Veteran Services uses every dollar collected during the drive to purchase and distribute the ShopRite gift cards for food products.
Donations can be mailed to the Mercer County Division of Veteran Services, 2280 Hamilton Ave., Hamilton, N.J., 08619. Checks should be made payable to Mercer County Trust Fund.
For more information call (609) 989-6120.
