Isleta Resort and Casino donated the meal with all the traditional fixings and, of course, Turkey. Organizers said the event was all about bringing a sense of home to veterans who rely on the center. "We try to give these guys everything that we possibly can, like whatever resources we can give them, we hold nothing back," said Daniel Fabrizio, VIC case manager.
Fabrizio said the VIC is working on hosting another event in December, but veterans are welcome to come by for assistance anytime.
