Clarion VFW chili supper

On Friday, October 2, Clarion’s VFW Post 2612 hosted its 12th annual chili supper in the C-G-D Middle School all-purpose room. The VFW holds the event every year to raise money which is used to help veterans.

“We pull from this to help out someone who’s in dire need,” said Nathaniel Holmes of the VFW Post. Holmes said they also use funds to send care packages to deployed soldiers, which typically include basic hygiene items and sometimes sweets which soldiers would normally not have much access to.

“As military, we say ‘mission,’” Holmes said, “but it’s our purpose—trying to help people.”
