Operation Christmas Cheer
Duke FM and Desert Veterans of Wisconsin present, Operation Christmas Cheer
There are a lot of local veterans in nursing homes in NE Wisconsin, and many of them are in need. This holiday season, you can change that. They’ve served their country, now let’s serve them. Below are a list of veterans and things they could use in their everyday lives. Please consider gathering your co-workers, church group, family, service club, organization, or just yourself, and ‘adopt’ a veteran this holiday season.
If you can’t take care of an entire list, feel free to drop items at our studios: 1420 Bellevue Street in Green Bay. Or make a donation, and we’ll shop for you.
