Cpl. Jonathan White, Headquarters, U.S. Disciplinary Barracks Battalion (Corrections),hands bags filled with potatoes, celery, rolls, pies and other food items to Spc. David Gomes, Headquarters, Midwest Joint Regional Correctional Facility Battalion (Corrections), as they help distribute Thanksgiving meals to soldiers’ families Nov. 19 at the Commissary loading dock.
The meals, which also included a turkey with size determined by the number of dependents, were possible because of chapel community offerings and Commissary shoppers’ donations. The Religious Services Organization organized the meal distribution and provided meals to 100 soldiers, selected by need/rank by their command teams, from the Army Corrections Brigade, Medical Department Activity, Special Troops Battalion, Staff Judge Advocate and Kansas City Recruiting Battalion. Volunteers from several units and organizations, including the RSO, Association of the United States Army, Fort Leavenworth Spouses’ Club, Sergeant Audie Murphy Club, Fort Leavenworth Commissary and chapel community helped with the distribution.
The RSO will distribute holiday meals for soldiers again Dec. 17.
