Buddy Poppies will be available from Pat Hanlan several times in April, including both days at the Health Fair in Broadus on April 17th and 18th, at the VFW meeting on April 21st, and at the Community Auction at the Fairgrounds on April 27th.
Pat tells us that the majority of Buddy Poppy donations stay local, but a portion goes to the VFW National Home.
The VFW National Home was founded in 1925 as a place where the families left behind by war could remain together, keeping the family circle intact even when their servicemember didn’t come home, the service provides education opportunities, daycare, recreation for families, and planning services for the families affected by loss of their servicemembers.
