The national nonprofit Soldiers’ Angels today issued an urgent call for volunteer support for its monthly efforts to serve up to 150 food-insecure Veterans and active-duty Military families at food distributions in Dallas.
“We’re honored to provide a helping hand to those who chose to sacrifice for our nation,” said Soldiers’ Angels President and CEO and U.S. Air Force Veteran Amy Palmer. “With food insecurity and high grocery bills impacting many in our community, we are searching for additional volunteers willing to step up and help our Veteran and Military-connected neighbors.”
Soldiers’ Angels Expands to Dallas
The organization’s Military and Veteran Food Distribution program started in 2015 at the nonprofit’s headquarters in San Antonio and expanded to Dallas in 2023. The organization also hosts monthly events in Atlanta, Charleston, Denver, and Orlando. Each event provides pre-registered Veteran and military-connected families with, on average, 75 lbs. of groceries.
Veteran “Robert T.” provided the following endorsement of the organization’s efforts following a recent distribution: “The donations of food provided by Soldiers’ Angels alleviate some of the fears of not having enough food. Since being homeless, I have a fear at the back of my mind that I will start missing meals again. This resource helps alleviate the anxiety, stress, and depression associated with feeding yourself and your family. Your volunteers were very courteous and empathetic to the plight of the Veterans in need. Keep up the good work. Thank you for all you do.”
