The Pella American Legion Auxiliary and VFW gave out poppies in exchange for donations to help those who served our country now suffering from injuries sustained while in action.
The organizations distributed poppies at HyVee, Fareway, Walmart and Westport in Pella. Deb Van Ee was thankful to those who stopped by and made a donation.
“We’ve had a really, really good turnout,” she says. “We really appreciate everyone coming out to support our veterans.”
Poppies are hand made by veterans and proceeds go back to disabled or hospitalized service members.
