The YMCA will host a special meal and resource fair for Veterans. A free meal will be served for Cadets and Veterans to enjoy together and bags of non-perishable foods will be available for those who wish to take them home.
Representatives from the Department of Veterans Affairs, Montgomery County Government, Montgomery County Department of Social Services, Roanoke Veteran Center - Mobile Vet Center, Salem VA Health Care System, Mobile Vaccination Van, VFW Post 5311, Virginia Department of Veterans Services, Vittles for Vets, and Virginia Department of Veterans Services will be present to provide resources and information to attendees.
The event is free to all Veterans.
"While families across our community experience food insecurity, veterans who served in the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are twice as likely to be food insecure compared to the general population, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs," said Ryan Martin, Executive Director & CEO, YMCA at Virginia Tech. "We are excited to collaborate with November Company and so many great Veterans this Veterans Day week to not only show appreciation to our community’s veterans for their service, but to ensure they are connected to resources they may need for their own health and for the well-being of their families."
Cadet Alexis Brotherton said, "As November Company of the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets, we are dedicated to service, competence, and character. In this month of November, we focus on giving back to those who have dedicated their lives to defending our nation. We honor the brave men and women who protect our country and uphold our values. Together, we stand united in service and reflect the principles of our motto, competence and character, and the motto of Virginia Tech, Ut Prosim (That I May Serve)."
The YMCA at Virginia Tech is located at 1000 North Main Street in Blacksburg, VA.
