This week, the New Bern Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution, combined efforts with the Richard Dobbs Spaight
Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, to delivered a truck load of donated snacks, for the Canteen, at the NC Veterans Home in Kinston, NC. Their Canteen includes various “snack items”, which residents can purchase for .25 cents each. It provides the residents an opportunity to periodically enjoy things they can’t normally get on the standard menu.
In addition to the snack items which were donated, several people gave “monetary donations”, which will be used to purchase more snack items, for another delivery to the NC Veterans Home in late November.
