On July 15, our 21 volunteers with Legionnaires, Auxiliary, Sons and Riders took to heart Commander Troiola's message in the July Legion magazine on food insecurity. From 4 am to 9:30 am, they put out 40,000 pounds of fruit from Borderlands' Produce on Wheels to over 250 families from the post and surrounding community. It totals 104,000 fruit servings. What a great day in the neighborhood! We are scheduled to give out 40,000 pounds of fruit and vegetables on July 29. "Veterans Strengthening America."
