BJ’s sends food, electronics to Colin Powell USO Center
The United Service Organizations (USO) has been entertaining troops and providing fun-filled activities for military service members and their families since World War II. The New York City chapter of the group recently received a helping hand that in turn benefitted the USO center at the U.S. Army Garrison at Fort Hamilton.
Representatives of BJ’s Wholesale Club at 1752 Shore Parkway presented the USO of Metropolitan New York with $1,700 worth of food items and electronic devices to be donated to the USO General Colin L. Powell Center, a facility located at Fort Hamilton.
More than 5,000 people visit the USO General Colin L. Powell Center each month. The center is named for Gen. Colin L. Powell, the former U.S. secretary of state.
