The G.I. Go Fund
Where Veterans Go Forward
News
The G.I. Go Fund assisted the East Orange VA Transition Center in planning and hosting a Welcome Home
event for all veterans with the primary goal of providing access to essential services otherwise unknown to
our veterans.
The event was held to provide soldiers with the opportunity to bring their families and enjoy a day of fun
and relaxation, a key to helping our veterans transition back to civilian life. The G.I. GO donated food and
prizes to add an element of fun to the event.
“We wanted to contribute to the VA’s efforts to reach out to our vets,” said G.I. GO Vice President
Alexander Manis. “They know just what kind of hardships a soldier faces when he or she returns home, and
how one of the most effective remedies is for them to remember the joys that everyday life in America can
bring. Food, prizes, a family environment, they all help in giving these veterans the type of relief they need.”
