Broward Council Delivers
Working with the state chapter the Broward Council was able to deliver three carloads of household goods to Mission United in Fort Lauderdale. The group, part of Broward County United Way, helps homeless veterans. The Pioneers’ donation will enable the organization to provide homeless vets with everything needed to get their household stocked.
Mission United Receives Household Supplies
The Florida Chapter collected and sorted household items for Mission United, which is a veteran’s program in Broward County. The initiative provides returning veterans with employment services, legal assistance, education, financial services, health, housing support and mentorship. The Pioneers contributed household items to help stock the homes of returning veterans.
Mission United was also a recent recipient of a $5,000 AT&T Cares Grant.
