EAGLE SCOUT PROJECT: My name is David Castro and I am a Boy Scout with Troop 12 Pleasantville. I am currently working on my Eagle Scout Project to run a food and clothing drive to help Veterans in need at the Montrose VA Hospital. We are collecting non-perishable food items, men’s toiletries, and men’s clothing. Veterans are held very close to my heart since my Dad served for 28 years in the military and the is a Veteran and my goal is to help Veterans in our Westchester Community. The drive will run from Monday, August 19th to Sunday, August 25th. Thank you so much for your support to help our Veterans in need….David Castro
