The poppy season will run from this week until Remembrance Day on November 11, 2022, so keep an eye out for poppy sales in your community.
Money from poppy sales helps care for some of the country’s oldest surviving Bahamian World War II veterans, funding initiatives such as grocery deliveries and pensions for the veterans and their widows.
