Junction City VA  Outpatient Clinic has received a donation of an Essential Needs Pantry from Brian Fuemmeler and his family. Fuemmeler is a member of the Steering Committee for the Manhattan Military Relations Council in Manhattan. He is employed by McCownGordon Construction as a Market Leader in Manhattan, and is a veteran himself, serving as an officer in the U.S. Army Reserves.

Brian and his family volunteered to design and build the Essential Needs Pantry for the Junction City VA Outpatient Clinic, to support veterans and the community around the clinic.

“This Needs Pantry box, often referred to as a “Blessing Box” is especially desired and appreciated by Veterans in need who routinely visit our VA outpatient clinic”, says VA spokesman, Joseph Burks. “The support of our community is a blessing in itself but to see a family provide such a gesture of support, is truly heartwarming.”

Community members are welcome to leave or receive necessary items from the box, which could include personal care items, non-perishable food, books, art supplies, etc.
