For the 14th consecutive year, during the Memorial Day Parade in Fairfield on Monday, May 26th the Rotary Club will be collecting non-perishable food/canned goods and money (cash, credit card, or checks made out to “Homes for the Brave”) along the parade route to donate and support local Veterans. As is tradition local Veterans will be riding in the truck and helping collect.
Marchers will walk along the parade route collecting items including canned goods, coffee, powder creamers, twin sized sheets, towels, and any toiletries.
The Club is honored to help support Homes for the Brave, a non-profit in Bridgeport, CT whose mission is to help homeless veterans with housing and services necessary to help them return to productive and meaningful life. On any given night in the United States, there are approximately 40,000 Veterans experiencing homelessness.
