CLERMONT – Celebrate Women Veterans Day with FREE food, inspiring guest speakers, and yard games for the whole family at Michael’s Foundation on June 11th, 2022. Women Veterans Day commemorates President Truman’s signing into law the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act on June 12th, 1948, allowing women to serve as permanent, regular members of the military,
Habitat Lake-Sumter will be among several Veteran-focused organizations also on-site that provide resources to Veterans in the community. Lacie Himes, Director of Development at Habitat for Humanity of Lake-Sumter says, “Since building the Umatilla Veterans Village, we’ve continued to provide affordable housing solutions through our Veterans Housing Initiative. By partnering with organizations like Michael’s Foundation, we’re able to support Veterans’ access to the extended resources and benefits they deserve.”
“We are thrilled to increase our women Veterans programming, to support and raise awareness of what women in arms have experienced. While we’ve kept our normal program and activity schedule the same, we’ve added several programs for women veterans, with this intention in mind- to further support our lady vets and foster that community,” says Eileen Daley, Chief Operating Officer at Michael’s Foundation, “Our additions include a Gathering of Women Veteran’s Day for veterans and their families, a lady veteran luncheon, a horsemanship program, and more.”
