Bangor - VA facilities across the nation held their "VA2K Walk and Roll" on Wednesday.
The event is designed to help employees recognize the importance of exercise and nutrition.
It also lets the Department of Veteran Affairs put a spotlight on the plight of homeless veterans.
"It's for employee health and fitness day and our employees have come out and brought donations of items for homeless veterans and it's also going to educate about some of the facts and figures about how the VA is trying to help homeless veterans," said Karen Martin, social worker and homeless coordinator for the Bangor VA Clinic.
"I think that's awesome because it goes and shows that people do support the veterans that serve for the country," said Ron Robinson, a homeless veteran.
Last year the VA walks in Maine raised about $20,000 worth of items and cash to help homeless veterans in our state.
