Riverhead’s VFW Auxiliary Post 2476 has 12 dozen winter parkas to give away to local veterans in need.
The jackets were donated to VFW Auxiliary Post 2161 in upstate Middleburgh by Veterans Miracle Center in Albany, Middleburgh VFW Post 2161 President Susan Lewis said. The Middlburgh auxiliary passed some along to the Riverhead auxiliary for distribution to veterans in the Riverhead area.
The parkas are high-quality hooded winter jackets and all sizes from “S” to “XXL” are available. They are brand new, and still in original packaging.
Auxiliary Post 2476 also has new socks and toiletries to distribute to veterans in need, Riverhead Auxiliary President Keri Najdzion said.
Veterans in need of a warm winter coat — or socks and toiletries — should call Najdzion at 631-591-1851 and leave a message.
