- Virtual Events - This past year, we have hosted monthly virtual and low contact events to ensure we stayed connected to our residents, provided support, and spread joy during the many challenging times faced due to the pandemic.
- Making Strides Against Breast Cancer - The FDMCH team raises money throughout the year and participates in the walk each fall.

“I love my new home and the neighborhood. The neighbors are awesome, my house is bigger than I expected but I love it. I love the experience of being in Fort Drum New York, and I can't wait to see where else the military life will be taking myself and my family.”
