Tractor Supply to donate $250 each to AFD, APD

Tractor Supply Company, the largest rural lifestyle retailer in the United States, has announced that it has officially declared Nov. 1 as National Hometown Heroes Day, a day to recognize and celebrate our nation’s military service members, veterans and first responders. The special day occurs the first Saturday of November during the retailer’s annual Hometown Heroes Days event, a two-week period spanning from National First Responders Day (October 28) to Veterans Day (November 11) that features promotions, activities, special guests and more.

With National Hometown Heroes Day, we’re taking that recognition further by uniting communities across the country to celebrate their service and sacrifice.”
