HVAF’s recovery program veterans participated in the 34th annual
St. Joseph Historical Neighborhood Cleanup on May 3. The group of 10
veterans bagged leaves and picked up debris with their neighbors.
“The veterans provide so much more
than a helping hand,” says President of the St. Joseph Neighborhood
Association Garry Chilluffo.
“We enjoy hearing their life
experiences, getting them to open up a bit, and sharing in their visions and
goals in life.”

“Despite having faced challenges of
homelessness, it is heartening to see that they carry a sense of humor through
it all,” adds Garry. “I think that speaks volumes to the work of HVAF and the
impact on their recovery process."
