Honor a Veteran by donating in honor or memory of a Veteran—a meaningful way to give back to those who served. 
RELAC is honoring fallen service members by helping veterans in need.  No one should go hungry after serving our Country, so donate today to help feed unhoused or food insecure veterans. 
 
Your gift: 
• Makes an immediate impact 
• Provides meals and hope
 
Share the legacy! 
• Donate in memory of a loved one 
• Encourage others to give
 
Please add “RELAC” to the memo line of any donations to help us track our impact.
