Due to our State and Federal government elected officials inability to perform their most basic duty of passing a budget, VFW Post 845 is taking the initiative to support the members of our community that are most in need, as we have done since 1932, by conducting a food drive for The Lord’s Pantry in Downingtown and the Lincolns Promise Pantry at the Coatesville VA. We will also make a financial donation to both food banks. Nearly 30,000 Chester County residents rely on SNAP benefits to help purchase groceries each month. Due to the federal shutdown, SNAP payments are paused and will not resume until a federal budget is approved and payments are reinstated. Any resident struggling during this time can call 211, not only for food resources, but also for assistance with housing, utilities, medical services, and other human needs.
Therefore, we are asking all of our members and non-members who frequent our Post to bring with them an item or items to donate to The Lord’s Pantry and The Lincoln’s Promise Pantry starting today, Friday, October 31st and running until the end of the Federal Government shutdown and the resumption of SNAP benefits. Please spread the word to your neighbors and friends, let them know they can drop items off to us here at the Post, and lets show our community that we are not just Veterans Taking Care of Veterans but also Veterans Taking Care of Our Community!
