In an effort to give thanks for the sacrifices of active duty service members, veterans and families of those serving abroad, Tully Rinckey PLLC and Hannaford Supermarkets provided free turkeys to active duty and retired military personnel this past Thanksgiving through the law firm's fourth annual "Turkeys for Veterans" program.
Officials from Tully Rinckey PLLC and Hannaford Supermarkets hand delivered the turkeys to active duty service members and veterans at the law firm's headquarters.
This Thanksgiving marked the fourth year for the "Turkeys for Veterans" program. Since the program's inception in 2009, Tully Rinckey PLLC has provided the Thanksgiving table centerpiece for the family members of over 300 active duty and retired military personnel in the greater Capital Region.
"As we give thanks for our own good fortune this holiday, we cannot help but to reflect upon the great sacrifices made by the men and women who have fought for our country. The Turkeys for Veterans program has become a tradition that we look forward to year-round," said Tully Rinckey PLLC managing partner and U.S. Army veteran Greg Rinckey. "We are excited to partner with Hannaford to continue the program and provide a small token of gratitude and appreciation to our nation's military personnel."
"All of us at Hannaford are honored to work with Tully Rinckey to offer a sense of comfort, home and warmth to those who so selflessly dedicate their lives to serving our country," said Hannaford Supermarkets community relations specialist Molly Tarleton.
