The Halifax Area Chapter of the Military Officers Association of America held its fourth annual Outstanding Support to Veterans award luncheon at the Halifax River Yacht Club on Thursday, May 22.
This year's awards were presented to Halifax Health Hospice and Team Red, White and Blue Daytona Chapter.
According to a press release, the award is presented annually to a local company or organization the chapter recognizes as making the most significant contribution to veterans and their families. These can include providing services to improve the health, morale and welfare of service members and their family, or providing military forces with new or improved systems that improve military capability.
Halifax Health Hospice provides job opportunities for veterans, and has a Veteran Advisory Committee, which meets monthly with the chapter's Hospice Veteran Committee. Halifax Health Hospice also organizes a campaign to collect and deliver care packages to active-duty military personnel and veteran and hosts commemorative ceremonies.
Team RWB, a nonprofit, was founded by veterans and hosts events for veterans including runs, walks, rucks, dance, pickleball, yoga, Pilates, bike rides, book club, kayaking, CrossFit, coffee socials and meals. Team RWB Eagles shop for veterans in the Emory Bennet Veterans Nursing Home, host a Christmas party and sponsors veterans in Veterans Court.
