DC Wheels To Deliver Food To Veterans Via Skateboard

WASHINGTON, DC — As part of a Veterans Day celebration, a group of volunteers have planned a unique and entertaining way to honor and create awareness of veterans and homeless veterans with music, food, and a skating demonstration.

The event will take place Wednesday, from 11 a.m.-1 p.m., at Banneker Skatepark (2500 Georgia Ave., N.W.). The DC Wheels will give a skating presentation and We Fit Vets will lead a community workout to prepare volunteers for delivering Meals on DC Wheels. In case of rain, the skating demonstration will take place at Bridgeport Skatepark (101 H. St., S.E.), near the U.S. Capitol.

Volunteers will rally at 1:30 p.m., at Torrie’s Restaurant (700 V St., N.W.), where donated meals from Torrie's and PLNT Burger will be distributed. The DC Wheels will be delivering the lunches via their skateboards.

Throughout the day of service, the Spreadd Love Band will be performing for the volunteers, some of whom will be members of the Oxon Hill Boxing team. More information is available online about this event and how you can volunteer to deliver meals to homeless or homebound veterans.

The following groups helped organize or contributed to this event: We Fit Vets, Blue Dragonfly, The DC Wheels, Dustin For Mayor, Oxon Hill Boxing, PLNT Burger, Spreadd Love Band, and Torrie's Restaurant.
