On Saturday, March 28, 2026, the RMBC Young Woman’s Auxiliary generously prepared and served a meal for our Fisher House patrons.

Acts of kindness like this provide comfort, encouragement, and a sense of community for the families staying at Fisher House while their loved ones receive care.

We are sincerely grateful for their time, generosity, and support of our Veteran and military families.

Last week more than 50 Veteran households and 128 individuals were served during a recent Drive-Through Food Pantry at the Greenville VA Clinic in recognition of National Nutrition Month and Social Work Month. 💙

The event brought together Greenville VA nutrition, social work, HUD-VASH and voluntary services to provide Veterans with pantry staples while also connecting them to important health and support resources.

This effort reflects VA’s whole health approach — meeting Veterans where they are and helping address needs that go beyond traditional clinical care.
