Saying Thank You to our Local Veterans

Last night, we said THANK YOU to our local veterans and hosted a Veterans Appreciation Dinner in partnership with Feeding Our Heroes, an organization that seeks to address food insecurity amongst veterans and first responders. 

We served 100 veterans a delicious BBQ meal, and offered them resources from nearly 20 non-profit organizations.

This meal was more than just feeding these men and women; it was letting them know they are not forgotten, and their service to our nation is truly and forever appreciated.

This event was a true collaboration and would not have been possible without: Mike Giunta, Maria Lemos and Mike DuPont from Feeding Our Heroes; Commander Bill Barats, Members and Ladies Auxiliary at VFW Post 3020 in Delran; Nonprofit partners; and my colleagues in public service including Team Troy, BurlCo Commissioners Allison Eckel and Dan O'Connell, Delran Mayor Gary Catrambone and Councilmembers Lynn Jeney and Nikki Apeadu, and Asm Herb Conaway.
