Thursday was a rainy, chilly day. That did not stop the Eversource Volunteers from coming to Veterans Base Camp for a day of lending a helping hand.
They were awesome!

Five raised garden beds were put together, our Vittles 4 Vets Food Pantry was scrubbed and polished by 2 of the Eversource volunteers who are also veterans! They worked with our Pantry Director-veteran Russ Johndrow, and they reported that the Pantry was cleaned to "inspection standard". Great job!

We had other volunteers working in the greenhouse filling pots with soil, planting veggies, watering, separating plants...and others helped clean out a cabin to get it ready for a veteran who will be moving in soon.

At noon we all shared some Illiano's pizza and salad, and worked some more until we were done. Despite the rain, it was a real pleasure to work with this wonderful group of people. Some drove over an hour + to come volunteer!

I can't say enough about the atmosphere of the day
Despite the rain, the cold, getting wet, and working while doing it, there was, lots of fun, good conversation. The day flew by.

Thank you all for choosing to come volunteer at Veterans Base Camp. Your hard work was much appreciated, but even more, the smiles and laughter that went on while all that work got done was a gift to us as well. We are looking forward to the return visit! 😉🙂

Monday we had a visit from Congressman Joe Courtney and his veterans liason, Manny Menenses. Congressman Courtney came for a briefing on Base Camps new additions to our programs. He then spent time with some of our veterans, checking in and offering help.
I have attached Congressman Courtneys post as well! Thank you Congressman Courtney and Manny. It helped our veterans to feel seen and heard.
