Food 4 Vets Event
“Our veterans stood for us when it counted. We’re proud of them and their families and are so glad to contribute to their holidays ” The words of member Karen Wells reflect the sentiment of all of Indivisible El Dorado.
Saturday morning, Dec. 6, 2025, Indivisible El Dorado, coordinating with the Placerville Military Families Support Group, hosted a food drive at the Veterans Memorial Building. Together their goal was to provide food for the holidays, and hopefully beyond, in support of our Veteran community.
Response in the El Dorado County community was fantastic and the event was a resounding success. The Veteran’s Pantries were overfilled to the extent that the excess was shared with La Promesa and the Federated Church Share Food Closet.
“Not to mention over $700.00 in cash and checks that will be used to help with a wide variety of needs for the veterans! Thank you to everyone!” added Jenny Wilson, one of the coordinators of the event and Co-chair of Indivisible El Dorado.
The Veterans Administration mission statement is, “To care for those who have bourne the battle”. Taking those words to heart, the residents of El Dorado County showed we care.
