I am the executive Director at the Veterans' Association, when you donate to our food pantry, every dollar goes to food for our veterans. We are here to supply other services, so there is no administration cost, for running the food pantry.

I am interested in making a donation to the Fall River Veteran's. Channel 6 News said that I could do this on this website. Please direct me where to do this as I don't see it easily on this page. Will the Vet's get 100% of the donation? I look forward to hearing from you. elizabeth@drquinnlac.com
