Episode Details

Veterans got the community support they deserve at New England’s biggest veteran resource event, where 100+ organizations united under one roof to connect service members with essential services — complete with a car show, petting zoo, and free haircuts. Co-founder Rae O’Donnell, an Army vet, says the current system falls short and it’s time for collaboration over competition. By breaking down silos, nonprofits can share resources and better serve vets — many of whom are organizers themselves, recalling the confusion of transitioning out of service. Last year, one veteran received a wheelchair within hours; this year, partnerships like Walking With Honor and Annie’s Angels are helping pets join service programs. When mission-driven folks unite, real change happens — and this event proves it.
