Month: October 2019

Posted on by Mary McChesney

Tuesday, October 29, 2019 – Virginia Beach  – To wrap up National Disability Employment Awareness Month, our friends at the Oceana Naval Air Station Galley treated guests and employees to a wonderful ceremony, lunch, and cake on Tuesday to show their appreciation to all of the folks working there!

Our Food Service and Galley programs provide employment for over 145 people across 8 locations in Hampton Roads. We serve both The United States Navy and The United States Marines at these locations.

Thank You to our military partners and friends for acknowledging our people and all the hard work they do to support our local (and usually hungry) sailors and soldiers!

      MAJOR thank you to the Peninsula Catholic High School students for coming out to our Peninsula Day Support & Seniors Program this past Friday!

We had 27 students volunteer their time to clean up and beautify the front and back courtyards and create decorations for the fall season and upcoming Halloween party.

We truly appreciate their hard work and service!

“Other schools don’t have service days where they go out into the community and impact the lives of others. It means a lot to be able to give back in a meaningful way.”

– Taylor & Ana
