Each month between March and November, we deliver service packages to local veterans. Our goal is to reach out to every veteran who calls Boston their home, but we need your support to make this happen.

Volunteer for the event   


The Mayor’s Office of Veterans Services would like to express our sincere appreciation for the men and women who served in the United States military. Boston is home to more than 17,000 Veterans. Some don't know that we have resources just for them. Our goal is to thank each veteran and give them information about these resources.

So far we have reached out to more than 3,000 veterans that call Boston home. We're gearing up for the Boston area and we need your help! We need volunteers to help us engage our former service members. You'll be knocking on their doors and hand delivering our thank you package to them.
