“Dixon Center is family”-Jennifer Grubb, US Army veteran

On the evening of 27 November, staff and supporters of Dixon Center for Military and Veterans Services joined with our partner organizations in the Fedcap Group’s “Harnessing the Power of Possible” gala in New York City. We built public awareness, promoted our work, and encouraged community involvement for The Fedcap Group. The highlight of the evening was a moving and inspiring presentation by US Army veteran, Jennifer Grubb. Dixon Center joined Jennifer on her journey from active military service to a successful transition where she is now thriving with her family in her community. Throughout the rest of the week, Dixon Center will be collaborating with all the companies of the Fedcap Group during our annual corporate week.
