What Boston Cares members have to say about Serving Meals at the New England Center for Homeless Veterans:
"I really enjoyed the project. It was nice to be able to help out and it was more convenient than some other projects because of the timing and length. The veterans were appreciative too, which is always rewarding." Danielle Dignan
"I am currently serving as active duty coast Guard. It surreal to see former members of the military living in Center. I did not expect to see men and women as young as myself with so much of their life ahead of them. Having nine years in the service, I was not surprised to witness the pride and general passion for comradery on their many tired faces. I felt connected to them and would not have experienced this moment had it not been for my partnership with Boston Cares" -Randal Torske
