CHARLOTTE — As we head into Memorial Day, a local organization is helping veterans who are fighting food insecurity.
The quarterly event was put together by the Independence Fund, a non-profit dedicated to helping catastrophically wounded veterans and their families.
Food, provided by Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina, and household goods were given to at-risk veterans and their families.

Its population, Nick Armendariz said, has grown.
“Generally, we serve about 200 veterans every time we are out here; we do it quarterly, and the line just keeps getting longer and longer,” Armendariz explained.
