“This community is passionate about our veterans,” said Donna Wilson, vice president and general manager for 2 Works for You. “We are anxious to help these veterans’ organizations by focusing the next Food 2 Families event on raising awareness and collecting much-needed staples.”
2 Works for You will be highlighting BRRX4VETS and The Coffee Bunker during news segments throughout the day.
