For the last 6 years, we have been honored to share part of our work load with the Compensated Work Therapy Workshop at the VA Central Western Massachusetts Healthcare Center in Leeds, Massachusetts. The veterans in the program assemble many of our kits for us (and more).
Through the years, many of these veterans and their staff at the VA have become good friends of ours and we deeply appreciate the fine job they do. We very highly recommend this program to any business who might be interested in contacting the staff of the program in Leeds and anywhere else in the country where it is available (Leeds-413-584-4040 Ext. ask for ‘CWT’).
Since we started collaborating with the program, it has become our tradition to visit the work area with food and gift bags on Veteran’s Day. This gives us the opportunity to formally thank “our” veterans for the job they do. We also like to shine a spotlight on them by sharing their pictures with you in a blog article every year.
The Veterans
Some of the members of our team were not able to come to the party, but we hope they know they are appreciated.
Staff at the VA
These are the staff who made our collaboration possible. Tom and Jim have been there for us since we contacted the program in 2010. We can’t say enough about what a pleasure it has been to work with them!
