Veterans Day may be over, but that does not mean that we should forget all that our brave men and women in uniform give us every day.
That is why I am so grateful for our colleagues at the Veterans Voice Network (on which I talk with many of the same great Veteran entrepreneurs we profile and promote here on Matt’s Meals), who are continuing to collect food and other vital items for Veterans (and others) all year ‘round!
On the second Thursday of each month, anyone who feels a need can come to the WATD/WMEX parking lot at 130 Enterprise Drive in Marshfield, MA between 10:30 and noon to pick up whatever you can donate. They have freezers for perishable foods and are even willing to consider food that is in damaged packaging or marked after its “sell by” date.
In addition to feeling good about giving, donors can arrange to have their businesses thanked publicly on-air and on the Network’s many social networks (Like I said- Veterans always want to help!).
In addition to donations, volunteers are always appreciated to help set up and distribute the items to the passing cars and to offer kind words of support to people in need.
No matter how much we give our Veterans, they always deserve more and whatever they have, they always give more.
So whether it is Veterans Day, Flag Day, Independence Day or just a Thursday, it is always a great time to give to those who gave all for all of us.If you need items picked up, call 781-7871-6416 or email 89edge@comcast.net.
