Support our Veterans
During the conference, we will be collecting food items for the Central New York Veteran’s Outreach Center (CNYVOC) in Utica, so please join us by bringing non-perishable food items to the conference.
CNYVOC is in the process of creating a resourceful, one stop facility in Utica for veterans residing throughout Central New York. When complete, this facility would offer, among other services, transitional housing for homeless veterans with permanent housing for disabled and elderly veterans, plus a wide variety of other services.
