The Rotary Club of Greater Houston Veterans strives to honor and support the veteran community in the Houston area. The club's service projects aim to fulfil this goal. Hope Garden, located inside the VA Hospital, is an atrium where patients and their guests can visit in a relaxing environment. Plants and tables and chairs were recently replaced giving the atrium a needed update. The Club will continue to periodically have projects that will maintain and improve the atrium for the continued use and enjoyment of veterans. Flags for Fallen Veterans Houston, is an initiative to place American Flags on every Veterans grave site at the Houston National Cemetery for Memorial Day. We want to NEVER allow Americans to forget those who have served and sacrificed throughout our Countries History for the Freedoms we enjoy today. Flags are place the Sunday before Memorial Day and remove the Saturday after Memorial Day. For 2023, this is May 28 and June 3. November. Operation Turkey helps feed the less fortunate throughout Houston and the surrounding cities. In 2022, more than 9,000 individual meals were delivered in the Houston area. This is a 2 day event. Wednesday, is "Tailgating" when meals are prepped. Thursday is "Delivery Day" when meals are assembled and delivered. This year the event will be November 22 and 23. Wreaths Across America, is a time to Remember, Honor and Teach as wreaths are placed upon the gravesites at the Houston National Cemetery. This year the event will be December 16. |
