Boots On The Ground is our nonprofit organizations monthly food collection drive for homeless and elderly veterans who are food insecure.
Our volunteers select a neighborhood to conduct the collection drive. On a Thursday evening, our volunteers go door to door delivering BOOTS ON THE GROUND Flyers to homes and businesses. The BOTG Flyers have a list of the items (below) that we are currently collecting for our wounded, homeless. and elderly veterans who are food insecure. The flyer also informs the resident that our volunteers will be back in their neighborhood on that following Saturday between 9:30 and 11:30 am and If the resident has an item or items to contribute, we ask them to 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.
The Boots On The Ground Collection Campaign can be conducted in any school. place of worship, business, office, or neighborhood - USASOA will provide all of the necessary information, flyers, and posters needed to ensure the success of this incredible mission of mercy.
