The DECA Chapter of the Saline County Career Center raised funds for veterans at a recent event.
A news release says on February 16, the chapter held a pasta dinner at American Legion Post 191 in Marshall. Proceeds from the event will go to the Marshall American Legion and local VFW.
Along with the pasta dinner, proceeds from the “Soles for Soldiers” shoe drive- which ends on Sunday, March 3- will be divided between the two organizations once all fundraising activities have been completed.
The chapter also is participating in a community-service project called “November Rain,” which helps support veterans and is led by chapter members- Iline Alvarez and Rhiannon Bowlen.
