TRAVERSE CITY -- A force multiplier: the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2780 and Forgotten Eagles of Michigan Chapter 6 are jointly throwing a Thanksgiving feast targeting veterans and their families. Volunteers numbering 40 and counting are pitching in from a host of area veterans organizations to make it a success.

The inaugural holiday gathering will be serving from 10:30… Continue

I have had several people ask me how we are distributing the meat to Veterans in need. The best use of the fish or game is to combine it with a donation of non-perishable foods. To do this we are partnering with several area food banks. They will identify the veterans and refer them to us for meat after providing them with what they have available. We will verify the Veteran's eligibility by DD214, Military ID or VA Medical Card.

Simple, (Yea Right).
