The head of one of our partner agencies, Church of St Luke in East County, received a huge national honor in December. Carlos Cuellar was selected as the 2016 Knights of Columbus VAVS Male Volunteer of the Year. VAVS is a program through the Veterans Administration that allows veterans like Carlos to give back to that community through volunteer service.

Carlos worked with Feeding San Diego last year to start a rotating distribution for veterans at four different VFW locations around the county. Along with new FSD partner, Us 4 Warriors, they built a dignified and holistic event for veterans and their families to receive food and other resources.

Thanks to his hard work, 2017 will see even more growth to this program and our service to veterans. Congrats, Carlos!
