Chapter 1143 (Greeneville)

The chapter received its charter and was presented the VVA flag by TSC President Terry Yates (left rear). Special guest was Greene County Mayor Kevin Morrison (right).

Chapter 240  (Hendersonville)

 

In 2009, Chapter 240 consolidated and moved its 2 Food Banks into 1 located in Hendersonville. The Chapter serves disadvantaged veterans and their families plus survivors of Sumner County.  We are open every Saturday from 9AM – 11AM, and we are available for appointments for those unable to attend our regular distribution.Since 2009, we have only missed being open 4 times.  Three times for inclement weather and we were closed this past Christmas.

Upon consolidation of the Food Banks, the Chapter applied for and was awarded a $15,000 grant in order to begin purchasing food items from 2nd Harvest Food Bank in Nashville.  The following year, we were awarded $10,000.

We have now grown to a point where we now also receive donations from community churches, businesses and individuals.

 

For a veteran to receive food support, we necessarily had to implement a rigorous application process due to several early folks who attempted to scam us.  However, using this process, we have discovered that we learn more about the veteran where suggestions for employment, claims, etc. can be made.

Chapter 1113

Hosted a Disc Golf event for Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) and Blind Veterans yesterday at the Chapter’s golf facility.  It was an honor for me to represent TSC and to have the opportunity to interact with these veterans and watch them having a tremendous & fun time.  PVA had even had a Disc Golf pro come in from Virginia to introduce the group to the sport and to walk them through which discs to us for driving, chip shots and putting.  Future plans include a course for these veterans with the discs and ‘goals/baskets’ to have beepers which will enable our blind veterans to continue the sport.
 
Congratulations and thanks to Chapter 1113 for reaching out and working with/hosting these veteran groups and for the hard work the Chapter is putting forth with improvements/additions to their facility,  Possibly, in the future, TSC can sponsor an event/meeting at Chapter 1113’s facility and play a round of golf.
