On July 5th, our regional Grayson, KY office hosted a heartfelt Car Show to benefit Veterans’ Outreach. It was a day full of community, connection, and compassion. One of the most touching moments came when the Post Commander, who had spent the entire day with the team, called Regional Manager Polly Rafferty forward during the trophy announcements. To her surprise, she was presented with a beautiful compass—a meaningful symbol of direction, purpose, and guidance—values we all strive to uphold in serving our veterans.

This gesture wasn’t just about the event; it reflected the deep bond and ongoing support shared between Veterans’ Outreach and the local American Legion. As a proud member of the Ladies Auxiliary, Polly sees firsthand how much heart this group pours into our mission. Nearly every month, they donate food to our Freedom Food Pantry, ensuring that no veteran in need goes without.

Dedicated members like Richard Dallaire, Susan Fogal, and Carol Rucker go above and beyond—not just supporting our organization, but truly becoming part of our extended family. Polly shared how blessed she feels to work alongside such generous, caring people. What began as a partnership has blossomed into cherished friendships.

It’s a powerful reminder of the unity, service, and compassion that continue to drive our mission forward. Together, we make a difference.
