✨ Dallas Legacy Mission 1st Friday Veteran Luncheon – West Dallas Multipurpose Center 💙
What an incredible 1st Friday Luncheon at the West Dallas Multipurpose Center -WDMC! We are truly grateful for the continued support of our community partners, volunteers, and the veterans and families we serve.
This month, we were especially proud to honor our military spouses — the quiet strength behind the uniform. Your sacrifice, resilience, and unwavering support do not go unnoticed. 🇺🇸💙
✨ Special thank you to Helen Maldonado for creating the beautiful raffle baskets for our Military Spouses, with support from Albert Valtierra and Mike Plattero.
A heartfelt thank you to Fatima Jones and Ken Jones for sharing the meaning of the Poppy Flower and providing Poppy Flower pins to our veterans and families, so they may wear them in remembrance on Memorial Day. ❤️
