Each year Clear Path for Veterans New England is able to help Military\/Veteran families during the holiday season by providing a bountiful holiday meal kit. Last year we distributed 250 meal boxes for each of the holidays, a total of 500. Along with these meals we offer toys, stockings, warm coats, and hats\/mittens\/gloves to approximately 350 children at Christmas.<\/div>\n
We have established a fundraising goal of $10,000 to support this effort.<\/div>\n
We see first-hand the need of our Military and Veteran families, and we also see genuine gratitude from families who need this help desperately. Every donation matters!<\/div>\n
