NORFOLK, Va. – Commander, Navy Region Mid-Atlantic’s (CNRMA) First Class Petty Officer Association (FCPOA) partnered with Crossroads School in Norfolk to give a local family in need an Easter dinner April 7.
The FCPOA provided the family with ingredients and supplies to allow them to cook a full dinner in celebration of Easter.
Yeoman 1st Class Jamie Whitaker, one of the volunteers, said she hopes the association’s donations help the family realize there are people around them willing to help.
“I think by doing this, it gets us out into the community,” said Whitaker. “I’m hoping this will get us to a more personal level and show them we’re here to assist.”
Personnel Specialist 1st Class Christopher Diaz, the FCPOA coordinator for the event, said the association hopes to expand the number of donations in the future.
“As it is our first time, we are only doing one family for now,” said Diaz. “But if all goes well, we plan to expand our numbers for future holidays.”
The FCPOA broadens the professional development of all first class petty officers, while volunteering in local communities, and fosters morale and esprit de corps.
