Poppy Drive-Thru in City Park to assist disabled and hospitalized veterans in local communities

Ashley Mockensturm hands poppy to driver at City Park during 2023 Poppy Drive-Thru.

The Bowling Green American Legion Auxiliary Unit 45, in conjunction with BG Parks and Recreation, will be holding a Poppy Drive-Thru on Saturday, May 25, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. 

The community will be able to drive through the parking lot in front of the Veterans Memorial Building in City Park, drop a donation in the jar and receive a poppy all without getting out of their cars.  

All donations received go directly to helping assist disabled and hospitalized veterans in local communities. 

The poppy is a reminder of the past sacrifices and continuing needs of veterans and is a recognized symbol of sacrifice. The public is asked to show support for those who unselfishly served this nation.
