Description
organized and provided free meals to members of the surrounding community as part of our commitment to community outreach and hunger relief. The Post welcomed anyone who wished to stop by and enjoy a meal regardless of veteran status VFW membership or financial circumstances. Each meal consisted of a hot dog chips and bottled water provided completely free of charge. Three Post members volunteered their time from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM contributing a combined 15 hours of community service. Additionally 30 miles were driven to obtain and transport the food and supplies necessary for the event. Although the meals were served from the Post's canteen this was a charitable community outreach effort rather than a commercial activity. No purchase or donation was required to receive a meal. The purpose of this initiative was to help alleviate hunger provide a welcoming environment for individuals and families and demonstrate the VFW's continued dedication to serving our community beyond our veteran membership.
