Opportunity Details
Grapevine: Operation Thank a Veteran
Operation Thank a Veteran" is a Veterans Day service project that will engage approximately 1,000 former service members and their families who call Boston home. An estimated 150 volunteers will visit each veteran/family at their home and thank them for their service. They will deliver an envelope that will contain a thank you letter from the Mayor Walsh. The envelope will also include the following: • An invitation the Mayor's - Welcome Home Breakfast • A one pager of services from Health & Human Services and Office of Veteran Services • A one pager of veteran related initiatives, ie. Homes for the Brave, Veteran Owned Business initiative. • A BOS:311 info card. • Contact information for the Veterans Crisis Line and MassVetsAdvisor.org The volunteer will then shake the hand of the veteran, and pass along the Mayor's challenge coin. In order to reach all our Veterans we are looking for volunteers to help engage Veterans by knocking on their doors and help put the packages together.
