DALTON, Mass. — The Dalton Rotary Club provided a meal to residents of Soldier On in Pittsfield on Super Bowl Sunday.
 
Club members prepared and delivered chili, cornbread, wings, chips, and brownies for approximately 60 veterans. 
 
Michelle Pullano, Club president, stated the meal was intended as an expression of gratitude to veterans.
 
"It was just our way of saying thank you to those who have served this country," said Pullano. "We hope others will follow our lead and support this worthy organization."
 
Soldier On, established in 1994, is a non-profit organization that provides housing and support services to veterans. The organization serves veterans across four northeastern states. Veterans who have served at least one day of active duty, without a dishonorable discharge, are eligible for assistance.
 
In Pittsfield, Soldier On provides services to an estimated 250 to 300 veterans annually, including transportation and housing assistance.
