Kaptur, Volunteers Spread Warmth

The generosity of two Toledo women brought some warmth to the residents of the Ohio Veterans Home in Sandusky.

Congresswoman Kaptur visited the Veterans Home with two outstanding volunteers, seamstress Yvonne Curate and retired nurse Mary Gregory, to distribute blankets free of charge to the veterans.

Each blanket was handmade and adorned with the words, "Welcome Home" and "Thank You."

"What a wonderfully kind gesture on the part of Yvonne and Mary," said Congresswoman Kaptur.

"The veterans were so appreciative. You could see it in their faces, just knowing that someone had taken all that time to honor them and show they cared."

The Ohio Veterans Home in Sandusky has operated for 122 years with the mission of "Serving Those Who Served."
