On Monday, November 11, local veterans are invited to stop by the Decatur County Community
Foundation from 10am to 2pm for a token of appreciation.
For the fifth year in a row, the Community Foundation is offering gift cards to local veterans to thank
them for their service.
The gift cards are made available thanks to the Ella Jo Briggs Veterans Field of Interest Fund. Mrs. Briggs
began the fund in 2017 to support projects, activities, and services for Decatur County veterans.
“We encourage local veterans to stop by the Foundation Office for a token of appreciation,” said Tami
Wenning, Executive Director of the Community Foundation. “We hope to reach as many veterans as
possible.”
This year’s gift cards will be a choice between Needler’s Fresh Market, Love Local, and Wal-Mart.
Veterans simply need to stop by the Foundation Office at 101 East Main Street to pick up their gift card.
They can also call ahead at 812-662-6364 for curbside delivery.
“We are very honored that Mrs. Briggs entrusted the Foundation to help her support her favorite
cause – veterans– forever,” said Wenning. “We hope many of Decatur County’s veterans will stop by,
receive a token of thanks, and share their stories with us this coming Veterans Day.”
