YONKERS MAYOR MIKE SPANO JOINS LOCAL VETERANS FOR “SALUTE & SERVE” COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER DAY

Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano will join local veterans and volunteers for Yonkers’ first-ever “Salute & Serve” Day on Thursday, October 18, 2018 at 11:00AM at Melan’s African Hair Braiding 26 North Broadway Yonkers, NY 10701. “Salute & Serve” is an opportunity for the community to thank local veterans for their service by volunteering their time to a veteran and taking them to lunch/coffee or a haircut. Volunteers are paired with a local veteran and visit area restaurants, cafes and barbershops where discounted services are provided (with proof of veteran ID) to those participating in “Salute & Serve.”

“Salute & Serve” is in honor of Yonkers veteran Staff Sgt. Courtney A. Hollinsworth,  who was killed in action in 2007.  The program was created partnership with City Of Yonkers Department of Veteran Services and New York State Division of Veterans’ Affairs.
