Coley & Associates have a Donation Drive Aimed at Supporting Veterans
Posted on November 21, 2012

At Coley & Associates, we supports charitable causes that positively impact veterans in our community. This past month, Coley team members participated in two donation drives: a towel drive for the local Fisher House and a coat drive for SAMMinistries.
The Fisher House in San Antonio houses 26 military families so they may be close to a loved one, a soldier, who is hospitalization for an unexpected illness, disease, or injury. With 26 families there are many needs, in fact, for face towels alone, the Fischer House uses close to 7,000 a year. Coley team members collected over 200 towels in just 2 weeks and we will continue bringing in more towels throughout the year.
In addition, we support SAMMinistries, an organization that assists our homeless population. According to the VA, Veterans make up between 10 to 14 percent of the U.S. homeless population. In San Antonio, nearly a quarter of the homeless population are Veterans - one of the highest in the country. Coley’s team collected winter coats and clothing and donated them to SAMMinistries which will help keep our homeless Veterans warm throughout the winter.
“Over the past several years we have had the distinct privilege of supporting Veterans through the work we do; whether through our eLearning and IT work with the Department of Veterans Affairs, as Consultants to small businesses owned by Veterans, or by hiring Veterans.” said Jack Coley, President and CEO, “Giving back to Veterans through these two worthy causes is important to us.”
