The Mayor’s Office is encouraging Newton residents to support our troops on Veterans Day by donating an item from the following 5 categories:

1. snacks such as nuts, pretzels and dried fruit;
2. food such as canned soup, ramen and tuna;
3. powdered drink mixes such as Gatorade or Crystal Light;
4. coffee, including flavored and regular as well as tea bags and hot chocolate;
5. and gently used cell phones which will be recycled to purchase international calling cards for active-duty military deployed overseas.

Each person or family that donates an item will be entered to win an Apple iPad mini.  Donations may be dropped off at Post 440, 295 California Street, from 10:00-11:00am. Children’s activity include writing to our troops, a coloring station and military vehicles.  Refreshments will be served courtesy of Dunkin Donuts and Finagle a Bagel.  For more information please visit www.newtonma.gov/veterans.
