Yes, it's that time of the year again! I'd like to think we support our favorite charitable causes more than just during the holidays, but sometimes a reminder helps. Today I'm offering up a list of the current volunteer opportunities with Soldiers' Angels. My goal isn't to push politics - but to offer examples of how we can assist the men and women of our armed forces, not just with financial donations, but with a little time and hands-on effort.
Volunteers with Soldiers' Angels participate in the following major teams and projects. To get involved, click a link and read more!
