What a special day serving our Veterans!
AVAG was blessed to bring Veterans from Orangewood, Pacific Palms, and Sequoia to Stater Bros. Markets #0012 in Rialto for a grocery shopping experience. Many of these Veterans are living on very limited incomes, so being able to fill their carts with groceries and necessities meant so much to them.
A very special thank you to Brian Soto, the store manager, and the entire Stater Bros. team for warmly welcoming us. They opened a checkout line specifically for our group, which made the experience even more special. We are grateful for the hospitality and for the way your team welcomed our Veterans.
One of the funniest moments of the day was Larry, who could barely walk but was determined to push his own cart through the store! He was stubborn about doing it himself, and we couldn’t help but laugh as he made his way through the market. That’s Larry! 😂
It was wonderful watching our Veterans walk through the store, choose the things they needed, and enjoy the experience together. The gratitude on their faces was priceless.
We are so thankful for opportunities like this to serve those who served our country and to partner with community businesses like Stater Bros. Markets that welcome our Veterans.
Thank you, Stater Bros. Rialto, for making our Veterans feel at home! 🇺🇸
