Navy School Graduating Class Honors Local Non-profit
Each class at the Navy Supply Corps School celebrates after receiving their "marching orders" with a party. A sort of "mini-roast" poking fun at class members, celebrating placements at different facilities around the world and most importantly leaving a legacy by supporting a local non- profit agency.
During the festivities, several agencies are nominated, discussed and voted upon to be the recipient of the class charity fund. This time
around the group chose to honor POUR, Inc. for their work to provide much needed food the families of local school children.
Ensign Fish said " We chose POUR for several reasons: most importantly the fact that they work with school children in an effort to break the cycle of poverty and because they are a true volunteer organization having no paid staff and very little overhead. We knew our donation would be put to good use." Lt. Hawryluk added, "I had the opportunity during my time here in Athens, along with my wife, to volunteer at one of POUR's mobile food pantries and was amazed at the number of people serving and being served. POUR is definately an organization I want to support."
As Ensign Jones presented Founder & Director, Deby Sorensen with the class donation, he thanked POUR for supporting the community and for allowing the Navy Supply Corps students the opportunity to serve side by side with local residents. Mrs. Sorensen thanked them, "We wish them well in their new assignments and are very grateful for their time, their efforts and their loving support of our country and service to our local community."
