How long have you been involved with Beyond the Yellow Ribbon, and really, what does it mean to be the outreach coordinator?

So I have been with Beyond the Yellow Ribbon for coming up on five years.

Uh, it's been such a passion, I guess, for myself, 'cause I don't know very many Americans that can take their family tree, tip it upside down, and there isn't a veteran that falls out of it, right? Like, we all have a kind of a civic duty, I think, to be the patriot that takes care of those veterans that have allowed us to have those freedoms.

But it has been so powerful in the roles in identifying areas and, and means and ways to support.

But one of them that kind of materialized as I was coming on was a food insecurity program, and, you know, and that was back in 2022.

So at the beginning of the year in 2022.

And I was like, "Oh, goodness," like I never would have thought that veterans would be struggling with food.

So who are some of those partners that you really do rely on to provide this, uh, support, much needed support?
