CINCINNATI — Every month, nearly 200 veterans in Cincinnati receive crucial food assistance through an expanded mobile food distribution program at the VA Medical Center, providing 75 pounds of groceries to help sustain them for about four weeks.
"The biggest benefit is having access that others don't have access to," said Nicole Comer, who leads voluntary services for the Cincinnati VA Medical Center.
The program started in 2022, but in January 2025, the nonprofit, Soldiers' Angels, took over the operations.
