Fifth
Third Bank will kick off year two of the St. Louis Veterans Home
Adopt-A-Veteran program on Saturday, Nov. 16th, at their
Loughborough Financial Center located at 940 Loughborough in St. Louis.
The
purpose of the campaign is to raise funds for the St. Louis Veterans Home to
offer holiday gifts to Veterans in the home. This is particularly meaningful
for the Veterans who no longer have families. Fifth Third Bank will place
Adopt-A-Veteran envelopes in each of their 17 Financial Centers where people
may pick them up to make a donation to the home.
