Veteran Community Initiatives, Inc. (VCI) is pleased to support the Central City Veterans Monument Wall Project, a project in which funds are being raised to restore the tank and monument walls that have been dedicated to Veterans as far back as the Civil War era.

The tank and walls that have been historically placed in the middle of Central City many years ago have accumulated wear and tear over being exposed to the elements and public use. The names of Veterans, especially those of the Civil War era, are now close to being illegible. In response, local community members have come together to raise awareness and host fundraisers to restore the tank and walls using new, weather- and wear-resistant materials in a collective effort that will preserve this dedicated memorial space for generations to come.

Please consider joining Central City Christmas in the Park group, Central City VFW Post 7457, VCI, and other local organizations in this important project to pay tribute to and honor our military members past and present.

Basket donations can be left at the Central City Borough Office (314 Central Avenue, Suite 201, Central City, PA 15926) Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. Special arrangements for pick up can be made by contacting Tanya Campbell at (814) 242-8369 or Jen Jarvis at (814) 248-6195.
