INTERVIEW OPPORTUNITIES: 

• Joseph Peña, Supervisor of Distribution Improvements at SRP 
• Ruben Quezada, Commander of Tolleson Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 6310 
• Members of the Tolleson Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 6310 

 DETAILS: 

Until recently, the VFW Post 6310 held meetings at senior centers and fire stations. In August 2021, the post started building their own facility, with veterans playing a big role in the construction. However, the veteran community faced a significant challenge with grading and preparing the parking lot, as it required more resources, equipment, and expertise than they had. SRP provided time, labor, dump trucks, front loaders, a water truck, and a grader, removing approximately 750 tons of dirt over the course of two weeks.
