APPLETON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – A nearly $40,000 check has been presented to the Fox Valley Veterans Council.
The Appleton West Rotary Club donated the proceeds of their recent ‘Tasting for the Troops’ fundraiser.
Wisconsin Veterans Village President Jim Lincoln says the funds will go toward creating a Veterans Village Project in Appleton, which helps low-income veterans in need of housing.
“Every funding mechanism that we can find to help meet the goal is very, very important. And for the rotary club to step up and sponsor this event, it was well attended, it was just remarkable. We’re very happy.”
The village plans to provide housing for both single veterans and veterans with families.
