Veterans Home Georgetown helps feed vets; Mansfield chapter raises funds for charity

This holiday season, OCSEA chapters stepped up in a big way to help those in need in their communities.

Not only was Georgetown Veterans Home Chapter 800 working hard keeping members informed about negotiations over the holiday, the chapter was also busy collecting over 350 canned goods plus other food items to stock the Brown County Veterans Service food pantry. The chapter also donated a check for $500 to the Brown County Humane Society to help with medical services and supplies. “It was just a small way our Chapter 800 tried to give back to our community,” said chapter president Jeff Condo.

Meanwhile, Chapter 7000 in Richland County continued their history of giving by raising $1,500 for their county United Way during their holiday party. Alan Koser, the chapter treasurer, said their United Way helps boost educational opportunities for children as well as economic and health solutions for families in this Central Ohio region.

Way to go, OCSEA chapters, making an impact where it’s needed!
