Star Group-Veterans Helping Veterans 2013 Thanksgiving Basket giveaway was a tremendous success. At our headquarters, located at 202 S. 4th Street in Copperas Cove, Texas braving the cold freezing weather we handed out over 350 Thanksgiving Baskets consisting of Turkeys/Hams and all the trimming for a full Thanksgiving Meal to area Veterans and their families who otherwise might not have a had Thanksgiving meal.
The support of the Copperas Cove City Council and Chamber official was extremely nice. Newly Elected Copperas Cove City Counsel Members Marty Smith and Councilman Gary Kent and Copperas Cove Chamber of Commerce President Betty Price assisting our members by passing and carrying out baskets.
