The Haverhill Republican City Committee is urging support for the “Tuna in July” fundraiser for military veterans and Haverhill families in need.
Republican City Committee members voted last week to help sponsor 411 Cares with the drive, noting “411 Cares is the brainchild of Dee O’Neil and her wonderful volunteers, who work hard to make Haverhill a great community to live in.” It noted the nonprofit makes and delivers five days-a-week brown bagged lunches to veterans, elderly and the homeless. The group also assists a number of homebound people with food, personal care items and medical equipment.
In addition to locations previously listed, donations of canned tuna in water, necessary for longer shelf life, are accepted between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., in the black milk crate on the front steps at 271 Hyatt Ave., Haverhill, and in the milk crate in the driveway of 71 Old Amesbury Line Road, Haverhill.
