VFW Post 1956 Inaugural Day of Service

Chris Marteny and Posted by Menifee 24/7 Staff - 5/27/2022

In conjunction with our Partners VFW Post 1956 kicked off the VFW Inaugural Day of Service. The Paloma Valley High School NJROTC https://www.pvhs.puhsd.org/3/Content2/pvhs-njrotc  and Boy Scouts Troops 374 and Troop 584 https://www.scouting.org/ Cub Scout Pack 374  https://www.pack374.org/  in partnership with https://www.msjc.edu/veterans/index.html and the City of Menifee https://www.cityofmenifee.us/. Participants painted the home of a Marine Corps veteran on Saturday May 7th 2022, on Ariel Court in Menifee, Ca.

The 1956 Post chose this project for their first VFW Day of Service event because it benefits all three groups involved. Post members get a sense of purpose from helping fellow veterans, the veteran-students feel good knowing they can still serve and go to college at the same time, and the JROTC students benefit by being surrounded by veterans who share past military stories and help prepare them for the journey they are about to embark on after graduating from high school. Surrounded by veterans who share past military stories to help prepare them for the journey they are about to embark on after graduating from high school. 

Painting supply's and materials were graciously donated by Home Depot https://www.homedepot.com/  and Lowes https://www.lowes.com/ to help in facilitating a very successful event. 

 Paint your heart out
