On Friday, Aug. 26, Catholic Charities of Tioga County hosted a Community BBQ along with Clear Path for Veterans.

“What a privilege for us to be given the opportunity to help our local veterans,” stated CCTT Executive Director, Renee Spear. “Even just a small community gathering like this helps provide encouragement to those who have given so much for us already.”

Cheeseburgers, sausage with peppers and onions, and hot dogs were all cooked and served by several Owego Rotary members. Extra volunteers were on hand throughout the day.
Many local organizations were also present with information and resources about their services and were ready to talk to guests about how they can help veterans and their families.

Melissa Coolbaugh, with Next Home, and Tanisha Baldwin, from EXP Realty, hosted a craft table for the kids in attendance.
