For the past 7 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.
On Thursday, March 19 2020, our volunteers will be going door to door delivering BOOTS ON THE GROUND Flyers to homes on Capitol Hill. The BOTG Flyers have a list of the items (below) that we are currently collecting for our wounded, homeless. and at-risk veterans. The flyer also informs the resident that our volunteers will be back on the following Saturday, March 21, 2020 between 10:30 and 12:30 pm. if the resident has a item or items to contribute, we ask them to please place the door hanger (which is attached to the flyer) on their exterior front door so that our volunteers will know to collect their donations.
