What an AWESOME new facility! It wasn’t long ago this was just a pile of dirt, and now the Collinsville Area Vocational Center expansion is a brand new, state-of-the-art space where students from across Southwestern Illinois will learn how to do all the amazing careers in the trades currently available in our region.

What a joy and privilege it is to continue serving our Airmen and their families at Scott Air Force Base through our Currency of Caring™ free meal program!

After 26 years in uniform, this mission is especially close to my heart. Every meal and every token is a simple way to say: We see you. We appreciate you. And we’re grateful for the sacrifices you and your families make every day.

A special shout-out to our mission partner, the Leadership Council Southwestern Illinois, led by my dear friend Kyle Anderson. Thank you for helping turn our community’s gratitude into meaningful support for those who serve!

Join us Tuesday, October 27, from 10 a.m. to noon at the Airman’s Attic at Scott AFB. Free prepared meals and Currency of Caring tokens redeemable at local restaurants will be available.

Together, we’re sharing more than a meal—we’re sharing care, connection, and a reminder that our military families belong to a community that loves them.
