The Utica Center for Development INC, Central New York Veteran's Outreach Center in conjunction with Express Employment Professionals and The Utica Comets will host the drive for Comets Military Appreciation Day.

Any non-perishable food item donated will be utilized for Thanksgiving baskets given to local Veterans and their families in need.
