Sweaters for Veterans continues through Dec. 4

Bradford O'Keefe has teamed up with Veterans & Family Memorial Care again to implement Operation: Sweaters for Veterans.

The program collects new or gently used sweaters and gloves for vets living in Veterans Affairs homes and hospitals to keep them warm this winter.

Residents of South Mississippi are asked drop donations for hometown heroes at any Bradford O'Keefe location from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday through Dec. 4.

Patriot Guard Riders will help deliver these items to local veterans.

Jeffrey O'Keefe, president of Bradford O'Keefe, said his family served in the armed forces since first coming to this country in 1865 and nine veterans now work for Bradford O'Keefe.
