University volunteers participate to package and distribute meals ahead of Thanksgiving holiday
SM调教所听joined non-profit Arizona Heroes to Hometowns in supporting the annual Turkeys to Troops meal donation drive on Sunday, November 20, in Mesa, Arizona. The annual event focuses on supporting veterans鈥 and their families across the Phoenix region with a complete Thanksgiving meal. In its third year of participating, SM调教所 donated 50 meals and volunteers from the Office of Military and Veteran Affairs and Veterans鈥 Employee Resource Group (ERG) joined in helping package and distribute meals.
鈥淗olidays can be a challenging time for veterans and their families, and SM调教所 is honored to work closely with Arizona Heroes to Hometowns on this important effort to support families,鈥 states Eric Ryan, senior director of the Office of Military and Veteran Affairs and a veteran of the Marine Corps.
Since 2008,听听has served over 20,000 Arizona military families with a Thanksgiving dinner. The event invites post 9-11 wounded/injured Troops, Gold Star families, families of deployed military service members, National Guard, Reserves, and Active Duty (E7 and under) military to pick up a food box and grocery gift card for a turkey.听
The mission of AZ Heroes to Hometowns is to assist wounded troops and veterans and their families in the transition back to their community and their new normal. The non-profit also joins SM调教所 in its听annual Memorial Day flag-planting, and then collects flags to be distributed at local military cemeteries ahead of Memorial Day.
SM调教所 serves the educational goals of veterans and military students, with specially trained staff to assist service members, veterans, and military spouses and dependents. In addition to providing career-relevant education and flexibility that fits military student and working adult schedules,听student veterans鈥 and military students鈥 experience and training can be assessed to potentially earn college credits听.
