Boots on the Ground NY is a team of Veterans that care about Americas Veterans. We’re grunts, we collect and deliver food and furniture for Veterans and their families, and these are usually the Veterans that everyone else overlooked or has forgotten. No Veteran should be hungry or sleeping on the floor. We ship care packages monthly to the military units that don’t have access to supplies. We provide what we can to those that need it most. We open up our doors and hearts to any Veteran that needs it. Veterans are not just a last name and case number to us, we build and maintain friendships. We’re here for the families of the deployed. We’re here for the families of those taken in the Service of their Country. These are commitments we do not take lightly.
