This weekend: Veterans Day
Pickaway County | CIRCLEVILLE: Veteran’s Day Donation Drive for Ohio House. Saturday, Nov. 7, 10 a.m.–1 p.m., 212 South Court St. The Pickaway County Democratic Party is collecting twin bedding, towels, pots and pans, cleaning supplies, body wash and shelf-stable food for Ohio House, a veterans shelter in Pickaway County. Checks can be made out to PICCA with “Ohio House” in the memo. Our story
Why it matters: It’s a same-day drop-off that puts household goods straight into a local veterans shelter.
Ross County | MASSIEVILLE: Final Veterans Appreciation Dinner at Historic South Scioto School. Saturday, Nov. 7, 4 p.m., 1808 Massieville Road. Veterans from Ross County and nearby communities are invited for fellowship and a meal (pulled pork sandwiches and sides). Our story
Why it matters: Organizers call this the school’s final Veterans Appreciation Dinner, so this is the last chance to attend.
Planning a tribute? Send us a photo of your veteran by Sunday, Nov. 8, for our Nov. 10 tribute.
