MEET MARY

Q: What do you do at HVAF?
A: I work with individuals and organizations within our community who are interested in helping our veterans. I set them up to volunteer in our pantry, at our housing locations, and more! I also communicate with those who have donated financially or provided in-kind donations.

Q: Why do you like working for HVAF?
A: I like working here at HVAF because I get to work with amazing community members who are dedicated to make a difference in our veterans’ lives. I also work with wonderful veterans in our pantry and feel like I am directly giving back to those who served for our country.

Q: Why do you want to serve veterans?
A: I want to help veterans because they served our country and gave years of their lives to protect ours. Many veterans came home to find a different world, and I want to do what I can to make sure they are given what they need to not just live but thrive.

Q: When you are not working, where can we find you?
A: You can find me relaxing at home, going to a Comic-Con or museum, and exploring bookstores!

Q: Anything else you would like to share?
A: Get involved! If you or someone you know is interested in volunteering, we always need help in our food and clothing pantry! You can also give financially or provide in-kind donations for the veterans.
