Annual Poppy Days set
PIQUA — American Legion Auxiliary Unit 184 in Piqua will offer its annual Poppy Days on April 30 and May 1.
Legion members will be in front of Krogers and the Piqua Post Office of these days.
All funds raised will go to veterans and their families for needs such as helping with medical bills, housing and utilities. They also provided “ditty bags” for nursing home/assisted living veterans at five local facilities that contain items like puzzle books, hygiene items, stationery, pens, cards, a flag, tissues and other items to cheer up local veterans. Home bounds veterans receive the bags as well.
The veterans served are not just American Legion members, but any veteran, regardless of age, service time and active veterans as well.
To make a contribution, send it to American Legion Auxiliary Unit 184, P.O. Box 552, Piqua, OH 45356.
