Veterans Supportive Services Fundraiser

On May 12, Synaptics’ parking lot near the intersection of Scott Blvd and San Tomas Expressway, was anything but quiet. Laughter and music intertwined with the smell of a variety of foods in parking lot to support the Veterans Support Services Agency (VSSA).

The Food Truck Fundraiser featured Twisted Chill (soft-serve and ice cream), Jo’ on the GO (mobile espresso and smoothies), Soulnese (Asian soul food), MoGo BBQ (Korean BBQ), Babaloo (Cuban), MoBowl (rice bowls), Mayo & Mustard (sandwiches), Tacos de Los Altos (Mexican) and Road Dogs (hotdogs). The VSSA event also offered a wide-variety of activities including carnival games, arts and crafts booths in addition to live music. The Touch Tones, a band composed of several Synaptics employees, provided the music.

VSSA will host its second annual Silicon Valley Veterans Ball at the San Jose Garden Hotel on September 15. For additional information on VSSA visit www.vssainc.org.
