Organizers and veterans are trying to find a place to keep the dinners going while the restaurant's owners look for a place to reopen.
Donations can be sent to: Aleethia Foundation Inc.

I'd wondered why they didn't have a fund raiser to bring in the funds they need for the elevator or chair lift that was needed at the original location.

Probably because it was the landlord's responsibility. Heck, three of us here on FR have already volunteered our time to help bring it up to ADA compliance. So it could certainly be done. But I'm now convinced that Hilton just wants 'em out, whatever the true reason may be.

A tax deductible way to support our troops?
Count me in. I pay bills later this afternoon, and I'll be happy to buy a few soldiers a steak.
