The Veterans of Foreign Wars organization gives a sizable donation to the Grants Community Pantry in hopes of helping the community during these tough times. According to VFW Commander Tyrra Saavadra (right), the VFW is a private, non-profit entity that includes veterans from foreign wars or their family members. They often get involved in the community by hosting events like Coats for Kids, Warrior Hike, the ROTC fundraiser, and food drives. The most recent food drive was held on Oct. 17 and that is where they received the food for this donation.

“It’s fantastic,” said Pantry employee Karen Baca when asked what the donation meant to them. “We really feel blessed when our community people come together and help us out.”
