We’re wishing everyone a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! But let us always remember the true meaning of the holiday weekend is to remember the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Here are Five BCG Approved Ways you can give back in their honor this weekend! Pay it Forward, Get it Back!
1.) Check out the VA!
Want to thank and support your vets check out the Department of Veterans Affairs, and find a VA medical center, cemetery or community center near you.
2.) Get Social With It!
Use your social media footprint to honor the cause, make a YouTube tribute video, change your avi to a photo of a fallen vet, post and tag a photo on Twitter or Instagram!
3.) Run, Walk and Race!
With the weather warming up and a day off, check out a charity run for Memorial Day. Run in honor of a fallen loved one, or find a run with a cause close to your heart, like the Black and Missing Foundation’s Hope without Boundaries 5K in National Harbor, MD!
4.) Make a Donation to Homes for Our Troops!
This program builds homes for seriously wounded veterans — at no cost to the veteran. You can donate as little as $1! To learn more about Homes for Our Troops, click here!
5.) Give With Food! More than 13% of homeless men are veterans! We all know we’ll be by some food this weekend, remember those less fortunate and consider cooking or buying them a meal! Even better see if you can volunteer at soup kitchen.
Enjoy the weekend BCG friends, but remember the true reason for the cause!
