End-of-Summer Palooza event

The Coalition to Salute America’s Heroes will once again join with Blue Star Families of Missouri to help distribute non-perishable foods and hygiene products to active-duty and veteran military families living in and around Fort Leonard Wood. 250 families will receive supplemental food and household products at the End-of-Summer Palooza event, scheduled for 10 a.m. to noon this Saturday at the St. Robert Municipal Center, located at 194 Eastlawn Avenue in St Robert. In addition to the food and household goods distribution, End-of-Summer Palooza will feature door prizes, fun games, crafts and activities, face painting, a free lunch of hot dogs and chips, and free school supplies. Advanced registration is required for this in-person event, and due to limited food supply, organizers will randomly select up to 250 recipients to receive a non-perishable food box. Those selected will receive a voucher via email featuring pick-up details, which must be presented at the event. To register in advance online, visit bsfsummerpalooza1.eventbrite.com.
