VFW Food Distribution Saturday in Gautier

VFW Posts 5699 and 2132 are hosting a food distribution Saturday to give away 20,000 pounds of food to those in need.

The VFW post will gather volunteers from other local post and community members, young and old, to help with their food drive on Saturday.

The 20,000 pounds of food is donated by Feeding the Gulf Coast. Perishable and non-perishable food will be given out. Mark Seymour VFW Post 5699 Commander Lela Bremen said, “The VFW is about more than just helping veterans. We are about our community as well and you know, people just think of VFW, they think of just veterans. We are part of the community. So, we want to also give back to our community. The community supports military while they are deployed and this is our chance to give back and say thank you and for the community to also know what the VFW is truly about.”

The food distribution will take place at the Singing River Mall property in Gautier starting at 10 a.m. and running until all the food is gone.
