So why was that Grafton Police cruiser hanging out with the Patriots?

Do you know a veteran who could use some assistance? Grafton Police may have a bucket they could use.

The Coats4Vets buckets, distributed during a cruiser convoy at Gillette Stadium Wednesday, contain warm coats, masks, sanitizer, and snacks to be given to the homeless and veterans in need.

The event, held by the Massachusetts Military Support Foundation (mmsfi.org) and other local sponsors, distributed more than 4,000 buckets to departments across the state.

Call Grafton Police to suggest a veteran in need: 508-839-2858.
