In the month of October — working only one morning a week — a group of dedicated volunteers provided 999 bags of groceries and 951 meals to local veterans and community members, including 82 children.
“We serve all who are hungry with the meals — veterans have priority,” said Lee County Veterans Outreach Inc. Director Sara Cacciolfi. Many of the veterans do not have homes. “I don’t say homeless, they are those who make their home in the woods.”
Every Wednesday those from the outreach start early preparing a great meal and grocery bags for local veterans and community members at All Souls Episcopal Church on Cleveland Avenue. Along with the veterans, there are the children.
