VFW member Dick Vogle has sourced additional items with donated funds from local organizations. The collected supplies will be shipped to St. Petersburg, Florida, where a VFW Post will distribute them. The drive runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday. Donations are also being accepted through Grey Media and the Salvation Army.
