CORPUS CHRISTI - More than 80 families received a bit of Christmas on Monday as members of the American GI Forum handed out holiday meals at the American Legion Hall.

Patsy M. Vazquez-Contes with the Beatrice T. Perez Robstown Women's chapter of the American GI Forum said her organization partnered with H-E-B and various veterans groups to make Christmas Dinner Package Giveaway happen for the second year. She said often veterans and their families don't want to ask for help or don't think they deserve a donation for what they have done.

"This is just a very small token of appreciation to our military veterans and their families," Vazquez-Contes said. "This is the least we can do."

Vazquez-Contes said she reached out to politicians like County Commissioner Joe A. Gonzalez and State Rep. Abel Herrero to find veterans most in need.
