| Description |
| VFW Alessandro Post 8547 conducted a food drive (9-30 Sept.) to support veterans and their families at U.S. Vets-Inland Empire in Moreno Valley. The drive sought donations of non-perishable food toiletry items and commissary gift cards so that recipients could get both immediate essentials and the flexibility to buy what their households need most. The drive collected over $125 in commissary gift cards and four (4) boxes of non-perishable food and toiletry items. Donated goods included canned vegetables pasta rice cereal soap toothpaste shampoo and hygiene products. All items were checked to make sure they were unexpired and in sealed original packaging before being boxed for delivery. The commissary gift cards will let recipients buy fresh groceries and other necessities at the commissary adding to the shelf-stable goods in the donated boxes. The generosity of both the Post and Auxiliary reflects the VFW’s commitment to taking care of those who serve and those who have served. Post 8547 is proud to have served the community this way and looks forward to future drives. |
