Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Military & Veterans Organizations, Veterans
Mission: Boots on the ground ny is a team of veterans that care about americas veterans. We collect and deliver food and furniture for veterans and their families, and these are usually the veterans that everyone else overlooked or has forgotten. No veteran should be hungry or sleeping on the floor. We ship care packages monthly to the military units that do not have access to supplies. We provide what we can to those that need it most. We open up our doors and hearts to any veteran that needs it. Veterans are not just a last name and case number to us, we build and maintain friendships. We are here for the families of the deployed. We are here for the families of those taken in the service of their country.
Programs: Boots on the ground, through the veteran activity center, provides food, furniture and support for veterans in need. We maintain a food pantry (canned, boxed, frozen and fresh) and we have on site freezers and refrigerators to stock any type of food as well. We collect, clean up and refurbish used furniture as well as overstock from retail establishments. We work closely with organizations and case workers which put us in contact with veterans and their families that have recently been housed in homeless shelters or in some cases domestic abuse shelters. We actively engage in events where we collect material donations for the military serving in harm's way in iraq & afghanistan (and other parts of the world. We send care packages to the troops that no longer might have px's available in their area of operation.
