Nineteen volunteers recently attended the annual Jewish War Veterans (JWV) Post 619 BBQ for MANA (Marine, Army, Navy, Air Force) House Catholic Charities, a peer-run organization that helps veterans experiencing homelessness find permanent housing. Visiting with the vets and letting them know their service is valued is the most important part of this outing.
