The Bong Veterans Historical Center hosted its 7th annual Thanksgiving meal.
It was free for veterans, active duty military personnel, and their families.
Folks dined at the Bong Center, but the meal was available to-go or for delivery.
Briana Fiandt from the Veterans Historical Center helped plan the event. She says it continues to grow yearly, “It started with an employee who worked at the museum. We had some veterans who were volunteers here who didn’t have a place to go for Thanksgiving. So, the first year it was really just us as a museum putting on a dinner for our staff, and then, it’s grown exponentially from there.”
The Bong Center is grateful for its community sponsors and volunteers who made the event happen.
