(BEDFORD) - The Disabled Veteran’s Wish Foundation will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony at their new location in Bedford on Saturday.

The volunteer organization which has granted more than 40 wishes to veterans will host an open house at 1515 G Street from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Mayor Shawna Girgis will cut the ribbon at 1 p.m. She will be joined by State Rep. Karlee Macer, who has championed veteran's issues at the Indiana Statehouse.
