Feed Our Vets Food Drive July 18 & 19

Plain and simple, it's just wrong.  The people who fight and sacrifice for our freedom, are often the same ones who struggle most to keep food on their table.  According to Feed Our Vet's website 130 thousand veterans are homeless and hungry on any given night. Here's how you can help.  

"Feed Our Vets" and the Mohawk Valley Realtors Association are holding a "Fill The Trailer" food drive July 18 and 19 from 9 to 3 each day at Chanatry's food drive on French Road. Their goal is to fill their 20' trailer over the weekend.

In 2014, Feed Our Vets fed 1,900 registered veterans, with spouses and children this number was just over 4,500 with 98,988 pounds of free food distributed. This year, they are expecting to feed 2,200 veterans and will give out approximately 135,000 pounds of food.

In addition to food pantries, Feed Our Vets also offers many other services for veterans; including assistance in finding jobs, getting a home loan and counseling.  Donations can be made anytime online.
