Our Services to the Armed Forces team has also been working to ensure Massachusetts veterans and active service members have the tools they need to stay safe, strong and stable throughout this pandemic.
In November, the Red Cross donated more than 300 handmade face masks and Veterans Day cards to VA medical centers in Brockton and Jamaica Plain. We also provided resiliency workshops to 100 active service members.
