Freezer, Van Donated to VA Montrose Food Pantry

Until now the VA Montrose Food Pantry could only hold one week’s supply of frozen foods and meat products.

Until Now. The pantry’s new freezer is sponsored by Heroes in Transition (HIT).

They’re looking for help filling that new freezer up.

The Food Pantry at the VA at Montrose, Hudson Valley Healthcare System, is open to veterans and their families who need assistance. The Food Pantry also serves families of deployed New York State and National Guard soldiers who have left their children in the care of family members.

“I am certain that our Post will assist,” said John Donohue of the Peekskill American Legion. “We also are rendering support , including home maintenance and yard care for active duty Reserves and others in area and many of the projects this outfit seems to be involved with. Thank God for all who keep the Covenant.”

HIT also purchased the van that the Food Pantry uses to collect food drive donations sponsored by Hudson Valley American Legion Posts, Chapter 49 Viet Nam Vets, school and church groups.
