August 11, 2023 - The Shelby County Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 8904 offered their service to the employees of Portacool on Thursday, August 3, 2023 by catering a meal at the John D. Windham Civic Center for an informational gathering the company was hosting.
Post members and Post Auxiliary members met early Thursday morning at the Center Fire Department to cook chicken quarters and sausage which were served for lunch along with potato salad, green beans, and whole kernel corn.
VFW Post 8904 and Portacool have had a supportive relationship for many years. Portacool has many times honored veterans of VFW Post 8904 during the month of November for Veteran's Day with a meal hosted at their corporate office along with a donation to the Post. In a previous press release from Portacool, they stated, "As a token of appreciation, Portacool and its employees made a donation to the VFW Post 8904 in honor of the many veterans across the country and those that work at Portacool for their sacrifice and service to this great country."
During this time of recovery, VFW Post 8904 was honored to be able to return the favor and provide the meal to Portacool. Thank you to Portacool for being a supporter of our community and an employer of veterans.
