🌟 Exciting News! 🌟

We are thrilled to announce that the JSPCC has partnered with Operation Stand Down RI to support their Veteran Food Pantry!

Operation Stand Down RI, founded by veterans for veterans, offers essential services including resume building, housing assistance, financial classes, clothing, and a food pantry, among many others. We are honored to assist those who have bravely fought for our freedoms, which we often take for granted.

So far, we've distributed over 20 boxes to various Assisted Living, Nursing, and Rehabilitation Homes, as well as to Professional Senior Advisors. Our goal is to help fill their pantry, and we need your support!

If you have any donations, please drop them off at The Johnston Senior Center located at 1291 Hartford Ave, Johnston, RI 02919. Every contribution makes a difference! ❤️

Thank you for helping us support our veterans!
