VFW members around the nation are constantly doing their part to provide support to the veteran community. In New York, for example, Rich Synek founded an organization devoted to feeding hungry veterans after a chance encounter with one at a post office in 2008. After talking with the man, he found out that his family was chronically underfed. That’s when he decided to create Feed Our Vets, a program to ensure that veterans get the food they need to stay healthy.
There aren’t rigid requirements to qualify for the program. Veterans only need to present their DD-214 paperwork and photo identification/VA card to receive food from the pantry. To learn more about the organization and how you can help, please visit www.feedourvets.org.
