Military Family Comes For Toys, Goes Home With SUV

Military Family Comes For Toys, Goes Home With SUV

Sgt. Steven Watson and his wife Diane came to Ft. Hood for our Jolly Holly/Meals for Military. They, like many struggling military families, were there to get a complete Christmas meal and toys to give their kids. What they didn't know is they had also been selected to take home a 2005 Volvo SUV, donated by American Shipping & Logistics Group. Unable to fit their whole family of five, two of whom have special needs, in their small unreliable car, they can now travel together as a family.Pictured with them are Jennifer Cernoch, President of Operation Homefront's Texas Chapter and Amy Palmer, Chief Operating Officer for Operation Homefront. Volunteers from Operation Homefront, Beam Global Spirits & Wine, Walmart, Dollar Tree Inc., T.G.I. Friday's, and Boston's The Gourmet Pizza all came together to make Jolly Holly/Meals for Military a successful event. Find out more on our Facebook site.
