DAV donations feed vets in need; here's how you can help

AUSTINTOWN

Youngstown Air Reserve Base Community Council recently donated $10,000 to the Disabled American Veterans to help sustain the DAV’s “Feeding Needy Veterans” program.

On Thursday, DAV Chapter 2 gave boxes of food to veterans and their families at the Austintown Senior Center Building, 110 Westchester Drive.

Second Harvest Food Bank of the Mahoning Valley also provided food boxes filled with non-perishable items such as cereal and pasta for the Mobile Pantry organized by the Disabled American Veterans.

The mission of the DAV is to empower veterans to lead high-quality lives with respect and dignity, said Leo Connelly, DAV commander.
