Reflections
Heroes in Action is now in our ninth year. We have accomplished much and have been able to do so many things not only for the troops overseas, but those at home and their families because of our faithful VOLUNTEERS. We have been instrumental in having a part in home makeovers, multiple food baskets, newborn baskets, auto and home repairs, help in emergency situations, rent, furniture and clothing, gasoline and transporting veterans to appointments, supplies for wounded soldiers and units overseas, aid in directing families to get help with benefits and aiding with medical and dental help. We do the unique.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
HIA solely depends on the monetary, snack and item donations from individuals, businesses, organizations, churches, schools, etc. to do what we do. YOU have made it happen. Thanks to all of our faithful volunteers and supporters who help in every area of our outreach to make a difference.
