What is Thank You For Your Service Festival?
Thank You For Your Service Festival is under the auspices of the Empowerment Community Development Corporation { empowermentcdc​.org } which is a 501 (c) (3) non profit organization. We have a high level of community commitment to our veterans, first responders, military personal and students pursuing a military career.
​
Veterans, First Responders and Military Personnel continually place their lives on the line for our freedom, safety and way of life. There is not a price tag that we can pay for the services they provide. Gratitude is also owed to their families as they support their men and women in uniform while they are away.  

To thank Veterans and First Responders for their courage and sacrifice, Empowerment Community Development Corporation and the Festival Committee have set aside a day for a community-wide event in their honor. 

Our first Thank You For Your Service Festival held October 27, 2017 was full of Fun, Free Food, lots of Free Entertainment, BINGO for Prizes, Door Prizes and so much more.
