A great but often unknown need

-

The new Veterans Food Bank has been in operation for almost three weeks. Long story short, a friend became aware of an 85-year-old Korean War veteran with almost no food and $6 left for the rest of November. A quick phone call to the Veterans Food Bank resulted in food and $100 being dropped off at his home. One of his best gifts ever. They would have given him more funds if they had them.

Is there a need for a Veteran’s Food Bank? YES. Many veterans are too proud to ask for help. They believe that someone else always needs the help more than they do. Many army veterans have involuntar­ily gone without food for long periods before during times of conflict.

Please support the Veterans Food Bank.
