As a nonprofit organization, we simply could not provide the level of services that we do without your assistance. The countless hours of time and talent, in addition to monetary and in-kind support, ensure that Veterans Inc. can continue its mission to improve the lives of veterans and their families and, ultimately, save lives. Here’s how you can you help our veterans and their families at Veterans Inc.: Driver – Help take our veterans in a company vehicle to appointments. Events & Programs for our veterans – Help by sponsoring events for the residents of our housing programs, including but not limited to seasonal/holiday parties, cookouts, as well as the annual Stand Down in June and our annual Holiday Harvest. Facility & Maintenance Projects – We always need people to help with repairs and maintenance of our grounds and facilities. Food Services – Help hand out food to our veterans and their families in Worcester County at our food pantry or help serve or sponsor a meal in our hot meals program. Our food pantry is open on the first and third Thursday of every month, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Our hot meals program serves lunch and dinner 365 days a year. Fundraising Events – Assist with our annual Freedom Song Festival, Golf Tournament, Pancake Breakfast and Road Race, as well as the biennial Gala Military Ball.
