Bethel Women Club's Annual Christmas Gift Drive For Veterans Is Underway

Collection bins and a complete list of items needed are located in area Bethel businesses.

From the Bethel Women’s Club:

The Bethel Women’s Club is spearheading an annual community drive to collect much needed items for local veterans. All items will be given as Christmas presents for the brave men and women who have fought for our freedom throughout the years and who now reside at The Vet House, Home for Heroes and those in long-term care. In addition to clothing, items such as slippers, gloves, DVDs and CDs, batteries and puzzle books are on their “wish list”. All gifts should be new, with original tags and packaging and remain unwrapped. Drive runs from November 1 – 23.

Collection bins and complete list of items needed are located in Bethel at: American Pride (Greenwood Avenue), True Value Hardware (Dolan Plaza), Wells Fargo Bank (Greenwood Avenue), Bethel Senior Center (Municipal Center), Stony Hill Wine & Spirits (Big Y Plaza), Shoe Service Plaza (Mt. Laurel Plaza, Rte.6), UK Gourmet (Rte.6 Newtown) and St. Mary Church on Rt. 302.
