Forgotten Soldiers ready to move into new home

After losing its home in Boynton Beach to foreclosure, the Forgotten Soldiers Outreach Inc. has found a new facility in Lake Worth.

The nonprofit, which sends monthly care packages to soldiers overseas, almost became another victim of Florida’s crumbling real estate market.

FSO sends bare essentials from toothpaste to food to those who are currently serving the United States overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The official opening of the new facility at 3550 23rd Ave. S. Suite 7 is 5 p.m. Aug. 15.

The former building in Boynton was the organization’s home since March 2004, and FSO executive director Lynelle Chauncey Zelner said she hopes they can enjoy their Lake Worth home just as much.

For information, call the FSO Operations Center at 561-369-2933.
