🚨 Calling All Volunteers! 🚨

Over the years, so many of you have come together to support our local military and first responders in countless ways. Now, I’m reaching out to see if a few of you can lend a hand to help a Veteran in need.

I got a message from my friend Amanda at Illinois Joining Forces (IJF) about a local Veteran who could really use some assistance. Endeavor Home Repairs, who work with FEMA on disaster case management, is helping him with roof repairs. While funds were awarded for the materials, the Veteran really wants to do the work himself but is dealing with back issues and can't handle the shingles himself.

Endeavor has been trying hard to gather volunteers but is still short-handed. If you have some time and are looking for a way to give back to a Veteran right here in our community, please reach out to Jason Lamb at 618-550-8758. 🙏

Let’s come together and make this happen!

About to attend my first Songs For Soldiers event. I always hear what an amazing Dustin and his crew do to raise money for our soldiers so can’t wait to experience it.

Any other Wing Fans going to be there?
