About Gift-a-Vet

Gift-a-Vet is the holiday gift giving program for Veterans being served by New England Center and Home for Veterans (NECHV) in Boston. NECHV serves over 1,000 Veterans annually, with needs that extend beyond the holiday season. Your direct donation to the Gift-a-Vet fund will ensure that Veterans are provided for throughout the year with all their essential needs.

Gift-a-Vet coordinates holiday gifts for transitional residents and their children, as well as Veterans in the permanent on-site living spaces (SROs), and Veteran families served by the Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) program.
