Our club created gift bags to distribute to local veterans on Veterans Day. One of our members purchased and printed reusable canvas shopping bags with a "Thank You Veterans" message for veterans from both our club and the City of Milton. Our club contributed $400 to purchase items to include in the bags including Kroger gift cards and snacks. Other local businesses in the community included trinkets to include as well. The bags were assembled and delivered to local coffee shops that were giving away free coffee to veterans on Veterans Day morning. The giveaways were publicized by the City of Milton. We only assembled and delivered 24 bags this year but have sufficient supply of bags to triple the quantity next year now that we have a better idea how the project can work and how to solicit more third party items to put in the bags.
