Veggies for Veterans at 32nd Street VA Clinic
The Phoenix 32nd Street Veterans Affairs Clinic hosted its 6th annual Veggies for Veterans April 5, a program that gives vegetables to Veteran patients and Veteran employees.
“We want to welcome all Veteran’s to come down and grab a bag,” said Diana Gregory, Gregory’s Fresh Market owner, who partners with the Phoenix VA Health Care System for this program.
Three-hundred bags of veggies were prepared for Veterans at the Phoenix 32nd Street VA Clinic. Their distribution began at 9 am. All Veterans were welcome to grab a bag.
“We just want to make sure the Veterans know that we care about them, and we’re here for them,” said Isabel Kozak, Veteran’s Affairs assistant chief of staff for community medicine. “It’s important to do little things like this.”
Veggies for Veterans is held three times a year at different locations throughout the Phoenix VA Health Care System. The event is sponsored by Gregory’s Fresh Market, Arizona Complete Health, Peddler’s Son, and Legacy Foundations.
