Here is an encouraging story for Thanksgiving weekend, of local charitable works in action... as told to me (through email) by VFW Post 1508's very own Cari Gardner.
My name is Cari Gardner and I am the President of the VFW Auxiliary in Wildomar. I just wanted to send out a BIG Thank You to Albertsons in Wildomar on Clinton Keith.

You may know about the charitable event they do for the community each year they pick a non-profit to receive what they call Turkey Bucks which essentially equals to Thanksgiving Dinner with all the trimmings.
This year we were lucky enough to receive those dinners in the amount of OVER $8000 in dinners.
The dinners were donated to Caring Hearts for Veterans and Community, which is a non-profit that is one of the committees in our Post at VFW Post 1508.
Here are a few pictures that were taken of us picking up the dinners and a picture of us taking some of them to March Air Reserve Base.

Thanking our Albertson's and all the volunteers who helped put the Turkey meals together in appreciation of all that our Veterans have done and still do to keep America safe.
