Bedford, NY - The Polly Cooper Chapter, NSDAR created Valentine’s Day care packages for 20 female active-duty service members stationed away from home on Sunday, January 14, 2024. Members of the Polly Cooper Chapter donated socks, food, coffee/tea, candy, magazines and personal care items to include in each care package. The packages were shipped to arrive in time for Valentine’s Day, to remind troops of how much they are appreciated.
