Congressman Costa running holiday card drive for Valley veterans
U.S. Rep. Jim Costa, D-Fresno, is holding a holiday card drive for Valley veterans this month.
Costa is asking members of the 16th Congressional District to drop cards off at his Fresno or Merced district offices by Dec. 22.
The cards will be delivered to local veterans receiving care at the Fresno VA Medical Center.
“Valley veterans are our nation’s heroes, and the debt we owe them for protecting our freedom and values is immeasurable,” Costa said. “A small gesture can remind them that they are in our thoughts and prayers.”
All cards should be unaddressed, signed and placed in unsealed envelopes; please refrain from purchasing or making cards that include glitter.
If you can’t bring cards to one of the offices, you may mail the card to: Holiday Cards for Veterans, 855 M St. Suite 940, Fresno, CA 93721.
