Helping Homeless Veterans
Our Punta Gorda team had the opportunity to spread a little holiday cheer and partner with the Charlotte County Homeless Coalition to purchase household items for veterans moving into newly refurbished housing.
Project Assistant Susie Lampros shared, “I was so glad to be a part of this mission to help provide needed housing for our homeless veteran population in Charlotte County. It was gratifying to know that with my community and Wharton-Smith’s help, we could make a difference for families in need.”
A heartful thank you to all our Punta Gorda participants!…
