Northwest Ohio takes pride in helping its military veterans, and Jefferson Award winner Betsy Potts is a veteran herself who leaves no soldier behind or hungry.

For the last few years, the apprentices have collected items and run a 50-50 for the Veteran's Food Pantry. To cut down on social contact, they won't have a 50-50 raffle. They've decided to collect food and money for two charities, the Veteran's Food Pantry and Meals 'til Monday. The apprentice council will also match monetary donations up to $500. The Veteran's Food Pantry asks for canned goods, paper products and personal hygiene items. Meals 'til Monday collects and gives easy to make food to students who are food insecure.
