Project Patriot Hope: Connected Nation gives back

The funds raised were used to purchase items needed for the #ProjectPatriotHope initiative that supports unhoused veterans as they transition into a home.
Between individual donations and a generous Connected Nation match, $1.000 was raised this year. The funds raised provided 20 cookware sets and 10 bedding sheet sets which will be distributed to transitioning veterans along with other important household basics.
