Derby to hold annual holiday drive for military personnel

DERBY - As in years past, Mayor Anita Dugatto is reaching out to the community for monetary contributions in support of Derby veterans and their families this holiday season.

Money collected will be distributed to local men and women serving in the military, at home or abroad, through the Derby Servicemen and Women’s Fund.

The annual holiday drive is generously supported by Derby’s Catholic War Veterans St. Michael’s Post 1562.
“This effort is one small way to express our appreciation as a community for the sacrifices our servicemen and women make year round to protect our freedoms and security,” Dugatto said.

Please send contributions for the Fund to Mayor Anita Dugatto, c/o Servicemen and Women’s Fund, Derby City Hall, 1 Elizabeth St., Derby, CT. 06418. 
Checks should be made payable to Derby Servicemen and Women’s Fund.

If you are aware of a Derby serviceman or woman serving at home or abroad who would benefit from this effort, contact the Mayor’s Office, 203-736-1450 or jdesroches@derbyct.gov

This is a press release from Mayor Dugatto's office.
