5 Miles, 6 Memorials, 45 Participants and 300lbs of food collected for our neighbors facing housing insecurity. Wind, rain and all.

That’s how we honored Memorial Day.

Thank you again to each of you that joined us, especially our sponsors, partners, supporters and speakers.

“The responsibility our community holds, as one dedicated to service, is to learn the lessons from those who came before us, to inspire those who will replace us, and to set an example for all New Yorkers and Americans who call this land home.”

- Michael Matos, President of the Five Borough Veterans

Load up your pack. We're marching.

This Sunday, May 24th from noon to 4 pm, we're taking a guided walk from the Brooklyn War Memorial, across the Brooklyn Bridge, and through Battery Park, stopping at memorials along the way to learn the history behind the writing carved in stone.

Participants are encouraged to stuff their rucks (backpacks) with nonperishable food items and carry the weight through the full route. At the end, we will donate everything to support our members in the shelter system, then sit down together for a community meal.

Veterans, service members, families, friends and members of the public are welcome to join us.

Five Borough Veterans was proud to partner with Brooklyn FC last Saturday for Military Appreciation Night at Maimonides Park.

Our team was on the ground connecting with veterans and their families, and we were honored to be part of an evening that brought the military-connected community together in a meaningful way.

Thank you to Brooklyn FC for the partnership and for creating space for this community. We're proud to have been there.
