JOINT BASE MCGUIRE-DIX-LAKEHURST, N.J. --  Volunteers from the 514th Air Mobility Wing demonstrated their commitment to service Nov. 26, as they served dinner to more than 200 homeless guests of Chosen 300 Ministries Inc., located in Philadelphia, Pa., during the Thanksgiving holiday.

As part of the unit's Community Outreach efforts under the Human Resources Development Council program, volunteer opportunities to help within the local community are offered throughout the year. Chosen 300 Ministries, whose mission is to distribute meals and services to the homeless throughout the Philadelphia region and around the world, is one of several such opportunities for wing members to give back.

The 514 AMW HRDC programs are designed to ensure an equal balance of the wing's focus on its mission and in serving the needs of wing members.
