DUBLIN, Ga. — On Tuesday, the Dublin VA provided food and COVID-19 vaccines for veterans in need.
The Carl Vinson VA Medical Center joined forces with the USDA Farmers to Families Food Bank for the event. They gave away 150 boxes of food in addition to the 1,000 boxes provided in four previous giveaways.
Due to COVID-19, recipients received their shots and food boxes through a drive-thru style service. VA Director David Whitmer said many veterans still need help because of the pandemic.
