During a recent government meeting in Spring Hill, Mayor Jim Hageman honored local resident Vicki Chevre Bashey for her significant contributions to the community, particularly through her involvement with the General Federation of Women's Clubs (GFWC). The mayor presented a proclamation recognizing September 28, 2024, as the GFWC National Day of Service, a day dedicated to raising awareness and combating food insecurity.

The GFWC, an international federation with over 60,000 members, focuses on community improvement through volunteer service. The Spring Station Women's Club, a local chapter, is spearheading the \"Vittles for Vets\" project, which aims to collect food items in advance of the National Day of Service. This initiative will support various vulnerable groups, including veterans, the homeless, and students facing food insecurity.

Mayor Hageman emphasized the importance of this initiative, highlighting the collaborative efforts of the GFWC and local food security organizations to provide meals and food kits to those in need. The proclamation serves as a call to action for the community to engage in efforts to address hunger and food safety issues in Spring Hill and beyond.
