Local veterans organization embarks on community service project to enhance Lafayette's beauty
Submitted by Patrick Lieneweg
Members of VFW Post 8063 on May 13 proudly joined forces for a community cleanup project, dedicated to enhancing the aesthetics and cleanliness of Lafayette. The volunteers, as part of the nationwide VFW Day of Service campaign, diligently cleared weeds and removed litter along the sidewalks and pathways along Mt. Diablo Boulevard, between the Veterans Memorial Center and the Lafayette Reservoir. This initiative not only provided the Post an opportunity to volunteer their services, but also served to showcase the ongoing positive impact veterans make in our local communities.
The VFW Day of Service, a national campaign recognized for its dedication to community improvement, is a testament to the veterans' unwavering commitment to serving beyond their military duty. By engaging in local projects, these dedicated individuals exemplify the values instilled during their service and promote a sense of unity among citizens.
"The members of VFW Post 8063 are incredibly proud to have participated in the community cleanup project," said Patrick Lieneweg, the Post's Community Service Project Coordinator. "As veterans, we understand the importance of serving the greater good. By coming together and taking action, we hope to inspire others to do the same and foster a greater sense of pride and unity within our communities."
