Veteran Support: United Services Organization (USO) - Providing Volunteers and Grant Support

Providing their talents and treasures, Dunwoody Rotarians hosted two days in Fall, 2016, at the USO at Hartfield Jackson Airport welcoming veterans passing through and assisting them with their needs. In addition, the Rotary Club of Dunwoody just announced support for purchase of a new induction soup warmer/cooker and hot dog grill, providing replacement of older equipment. Total expenses $2,327.00 - RCD contribution of $1,163.00 to be matched by customers of E. 48th Street Market and a major partner with the Rotary Club of Dunwoody in USO Service.

This project will have sustainable support in the community served - fifty to several hundred military service personnel served daily at the USO center at Hartsfield Jackson Airport in Atlanta, GA. RCD and USO has had a partnership in supporting our military personnel, bi-annually, for over 15 years, by serving a typical American lunch of hot dogs, homemade cookies (donated by Rotarians), and fresh fruit, and by assembly,gift bags.
