Williamson Student Initiates Service to Veterans

Some homeless veterans in Philadelphia are going to have a nicer Christmas thanks to Williamson. Students and employees donated many boxes full of food for the Philadelphia Veterans Comfort House. Senior Zach McCrea 1W4 came up with the idea which caught on in popularity with donations coming from many. The food was delivered the Friday before Christmas by three machine tool technology students (pictured left to right): McCrea 1W4, Nick DiGati 1W6, and Dan Deaver 1W5, with Jay Merillat, dean of enrollments, driving them.

The Comfort House has been helping veterans from Pennsylvania in many ways since 1994 and has been helping homeless veterans since 2010. For more information on the Comfort House, visit their website http://www.vetscomforthouse.org or call 267-292-2052.
