LIFT Ministries, Spirit of Luke working with Veteran of Foreign Wars

LIFT Ministries and the Spirit of Luke Foundation are partnering with the Veteran of Foreign Wars (VFW) for a community giveaway and health fair on Saturday at 299 Kingsbend Road.

The program, “Reaching Out for Healthier Community,” is a giveaway and health fair from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Food, clothing, medical projects and hygiene items will be given away. Doctors will also be on hand for medical examinations and answer health questions.

A $10 VISA gift card will be given to the event’s first 20 participants.

LaTanglia Dozier, event co-chair, said the VFW is important for several reasons.

“The VFW is Selma’s best-kept secret,” Dozier said. “The VFW provides support and resources for veterans, including assistance with obtaining benefits, access to health care, and help with transitioning back to civilian life. They also offer financial assistance for veterans in need. The VFW advocates for veterans’ rights and interests at the local, state, and national levels. They work to ensure that veterans receive the benefits and support they deserve. Overall, the VFW plays a crucial role in supporting and advocating for veterans, preserving their legacy, and promoting patriotism and respect for those who have served our country.”

If anyone wants to participate as a vendor, contact Dozier at 334-412-8168. Transportation will also be provided.
