This event brings together organizations devoted to helping veterans experiencing homelessness, celebrating groups making a difference across Massachusetts.

Dedicated to Ending Veteran Homelessness

“Lily is committed to helping end and prevent homelessness among veterans,” said Mike Stanton, COO of Lily Transportation. “And we are grateful to The Salvation Army for connecting us with the VA’s mission and their continued support of our partnership with them.”

This honor highlights Lily Transportation’s hands-on approach and lasting involvement with the VA and The Salvation Army. The company’s mission has always included supporting veterans, not only by offering financial backing but also through direct engagement in outreach programs.

Giving Back: Making a Difference in the Community

Lily’s approach goes far beyond writing checks. For instance, the Annual Turkey Drop is one of their projects, where Thanksgiving meals are delivered to families of veterans each year. This hands-on effort helps meet essential needs and strengthens the sense of community.

This yearly contribution from Truckers For Troops includes both a monetary donation and household goods for VCP’s tiny house community in Kansas City. This ongoing partnership has been a meaningful tradition for several years, providing essential support during the holiday season.

Speaking at the event, OOIDA President Todd Spencer emphasized the importance of these contributions. “They (VCP) provide a very needed and worthwhile service,” Spencer said. “It’s a service that we’re glad to support.”

This year, the generosity of OOIDA members extended beyond Kansas City. Truckers For Troops also made donations to new VCP communities in St. Louis and Sioux Falls, South Dakota, as the nonprofit organization continues to grow its reach across the United States.

“Our members want to show support in any way they can, and we’re always looking to do more,” shared Norita Taylor, OOIDA’s Director of Public Relations, during the VCP-St. Louis event in July.

At the Sioux Falls location in October, VCP staff highlighted just how impactful the donation had been for their mission and the vital services they provide to homeless and at-risk veterans.

Outside of these contributions, Veterans Community Project operates additional communities in Glendale, Arizona; Longmont, Colorado; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

OOIDA’s Truckers For Troops campaign this year once again offered a special membership deal to encourage participation. New and renewing members could join OOIDA for $35 per year, with no limits on the number of years they could sign up at the discounted price. Ten percent of all membership payments during the campaign were allocated to Truckers For Troops, directly benefiting their ongoing efforts.

Since its inception in 2007, the Truckers For Troops initiative has raised over $800,000 for military personnel and veteran-focused organizations.
