ADVISORY: FEDS FEED FAMILIES
U.S. Army Garrison Fort Carson and the Fort Carson Commissary are partnering to
support the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Eighth Annual "Feds Feed
Families" Food Drive (F4D) campaign, which runs through Aug. 31. F4D is an
opportunity to give back to the communities in which personnel live, work, and train.
Collection points for nonperishable food items are located near the exit doors of
the Fort Carson Commissary. USAG Fort Carson is requesting support from
community members to donate to this drive if they can.
