For those service personnel who return to civilian life instead of remaining on active duty, re-entry challenges are especially strong. Their communities, coworkers, families, and friends have inevitably grown and changed, and they’ve been changed by experiences that are not easily shared.
The Sea of Goodwill effort, both locally and nationally, aims to find ways to ease the path to re-entry for military personnel.
Today is volunteer appreciation day! We are grateful for all volunteers in our area who keep many organizations running, communities safe and provide the services that otherwise would not exist without you!
