Lt. Keith Van Dyck, 99th Logistics Readiness Squad-
ron Fuels Management Flight commander. “A week
into the drive the commissary had already collected
and donated about 24,000 pounds of food. We knew
our role wasn’t going to be to collect as much as it
was to help raise awareness.”

   The military organizations at Nellis AFB, not
including the commissary, collected over 4,500
pounds of food.

   “This year was different than last because they
decided to split the commissary from the military
organization side,” said Van Dyck. “On the organi-
zational side we are at a disadvantage because the
commissary is so good at this. They had little bags
out for people to take with them to the check-out.
