Next bottle and can drive is October 3rd and 4th
It’s a challenge, but let’s see if we can top the $12,000 you helped us raise in April! Thanks to you, we filled 2 tractor-trailers to the brim with bottles and cans. And, thanks to all our volunteers who staffed the event. You all braved the best and worst weather that April had to offer that weekend to help send our veterans to Washington. Circle your calendars and start saving your returnables again: Our next drive is Saturday and Sunday, October 3rd and 4th at Destiny USA.

Thank you Coyne for keeping our wheels turning
Every Honor Flight veteran has a transport chair if they need one. We want to express our gratitude to Martin Coyne of Coyne Facility Services and his employees for cleaning transport chairs before each and every mission!
Coyne Facility Services provides an in-kind donation of their services to ensure each transport chair is cleaned prior to use. Here they are, hard at work 3 days before Mission 24 took flight. Thank you Coyne!
