Cars were lined up at the Veterans Services Office in Braintree Thursday afternoon for another food drive thru with folks like John Pelose, Adjutant of American Legion Post 86, filling those cars with food and other needed items.
Nancy Mullin of Braintree also took part in the event as a way to foster a closer connection with the veteran community.
George Bouchard, the Assistant Veterans Services Officer for the City of Quincy, tells WATD News that this event is a way to provide help for those who are often unlikely to reach out for it.
Kenneth Monty of Middleboro, an Army veteran who served in the Military Police, says that he’s helping out because he knows first- hand just how challenging things can be.
Braintree’s Veterans Service Officer Vinny Fountaine tells WATD News that the purpose of an event like this isn’t just to provide help, but to let folks know that help is available.
Organizer Gregg Brasso, who also hosts Veterans Voice on WATD, says that the event keeps getting bigger and bigger.
The next event will take place May 13th from noon to 2 p.m. outside the WATD Studios at 130 Enterprise Dr. in Marshfield.
