Holiday turkey or ham vouchers available for county veterans and surviving spouses
Vouchers for a turkey or a ham may be issued to a veteran or a widow of a veteran who show proof of being a county resident and having been honorably discharged from the armed forces. Vouchers will be handed out at the Coshocton County Veterans Service Office located at 318 Main Street/Courthouse in Coshocton starting Monday, Nov. 7, and ending on Friday, Dec. 9, or before if all 250 vouchers are handed out.
Vouchers will be issued to the veteran or widow only. A staff member of the veterans service office will review each application.
All veterans receiving a voucher must be a confirmed resident of Coshocton County for no less than three months as outlined in the financial assistance guidelines. A drivers’ license, photo ID, or current utility bill is required. No more than one voucher will be issued per household.
Veterans/widows must provide the veteran’s DD-214, NG-22 or reserve discharge orders proving having been honorably discharged from the armed forces.
These vouchers are for use only at Buehler’s Fresh Foods, 830 S. Second St. in Coshocton. This voucher is only good for a turkey or a ham and must be used by Dec. 31, or it becomes void.
The making of false or misleading statements and/or misuse of voucher may permanently disqualify the veteran from receiving future assistance and may be subject to prosecution.
All statements and claims made by the applicant will be investigated.
