For the past 5 years, USASOA has been doing our part as a Veteran and Military Service Organization to directly impact the quality of life for our wounded, homeless and at-risk veterans. We hold our monthly BOOTS ON THE GROUND campaign to collect need items and resources for our heroes who have earned, need and deserve our compassion, care and support.
USASOA delivers the items to the VA Homeless Shelter in Northeast Washington, DC for immediate distribution to veterans in need as well as to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
Please drop off one or several of the items listed below to the lobby of our office building on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC - we are located directly across the street from the Eastern Market Metro Station and next to Trader Joe's. If you would like to volunteer for this event, please contact us: 202-670-3525 www.USASOA.org
