WESTFIELD — At the Wellness Center at the Barnes Air National Guard Base, employees stock shelves with donated groceries, military members stop to ask for help and families grab supplies for the week.
“I’m like the Walmart greeter,” said Brad Caney, the readiness specialist for military members and their families at the base in Westfield, home to the 104th Fighter Wing. “I try to give that welcome when someone comes in, because they could be coming in happy, or they could be coming in distressed.”
