Clarkson in the Community: Veterans Community Project Commissary Day

Close to 30 members of the Clarkson office, safety, and field supervision teams recently volunteered at the Veterans Community Project to support their monthly Commissary Day.

Open to all Veterans, the event provides groceries, clothing, and household essentials free of charge. Throughout the day, Clarkson volunteers served as "personal shoppers," assisting more than 170 Veterans as they selected pantry staples, canned goods, fresh produce, and new clothing.

In addition to filling shopping bags, the team served up a hot lunch from Katie's Catering, creating an opportunity for the Veterans in attendance to gather, share a meal, and spend time in community with one another.

By the end of the day, the shelves were nearly empty — a welcome sight that meant supplies were heading home with the people who needed them most.

Community involvement is a core part of Clarkson's values, and we're proud to support organizations like the Veterans Community Project that work every day to serve those who served our country.
