Members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Department of Illinois and its Auxiliary organized a fundraiser to support Farm2Veteran, an initiative providing farm-fresh food to veterans in Illinois, according to agrinews-pubs.com.

The fundraiser aims to help veterans experiencing food insecurity by supplying fresh food directly to them, including residents of lower-income veteran housing such as Otto Veterans Square Housing in Chicago Heights.

The VFW Auxiliary donated a freezer to the housing facility to enable food storage, reducing the need for residents to travel to distant grocery stores.

Farm2Veteran operates a 60-acre farm in Manhattan, Illinois, which started in 2020 with a small number of animals and now collaborates with local farmers and veteran organizations to expand its reach.

The program was created to fill a gap in farm-fresh food programs for veterans and works alongside groups like Catholic Charities to meet increasing demand.
