CHAMP Homes’ Special Projects Director Mary Hebert says: “This is a wonderful opportunity to recognize our veterans and bring joy to their holiday season. We have seven veterans who call CHAMP Homes their home, and Housing For All is working hard to provide support to veterans in need on Cape Cod. If you would like to help our veterans by filling our Tree with gifts, please contact me at 508-771-1470 or mary@champhouse.org”.
