The Lab’s Veterans Employee Resource Group (VERG) is collaborating with Operation Care and Comfort, a Bay Area 501(c)3 organization that is dedicated to provide support and comfort to deployed troops, veterans, and their families, to send care packages to our troops stationed overseas. We will be preparing these care packages now so that the troops will receive them before the holidays at the end of the year.
How you can help
- Donate items from the Operation Care and Comfort shopping list (https://occ-usa.org/shopping-list/).
- Write a thank you or happy holidays letter or card. Service members appreciate a handwritten note thanking them for their service and letting them know that you are thinking of them.
- Help sort donations and assemble care packages on Friday, Oct. 18 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Building 62, room 62-2-203. Everyone is welcome!
