Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
PROSTHETICS: WE HAD A GREAT YEAR THESE LAST 12 MONTHS. WE RECEIVED A VAST NUMBER OF SUPPLIES AND MANAGED TO FIND MILITARY, THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS AND PEOPLE IN NEED ALL OVER THE ARIZONA COMMUNITY TO GIVE AID TO. WE HAD AN EXTRAORDINARY IN AND OUT OF SUPPLIES IN ONE WEEK THAT HELPED SO MANY PEOPLE WITH GLOVES, GOWNS AND MASKS AND OTHER HOSPITAL SUPPLIES, IT WAS AMAZING. DAWN AND MATT MOVED 5 TRUCKS OF EQUIPMENT IN 2 DAYS. IT IS DOUBTFUL WE WILL MOVE THIS MUCH IN ONE YEAR AGAIN.
OUTREACH: THE BOARD THOUGHT THAT SINCE WE DID (3) VETERAN OUTREACH EVENTS, THAT WE SHOULD HELP THE CHILDREN IN OUR AREA. INITIALLY WE HAD PLANNED ON PAYING BACK LUNCH DEBTS SO CHILDREN COULD QUALIFY FOR FREE LUNCH. THIS WAS NO LONGER NEEDED. HOWEVER, THEY DID HAVE SCHOOL SUPPLY NEEDS WE COULD HELP WITH. THE CHAPTER PROVIDED COMPUTER MICE, HEADPHONES, COLD CUPS AND GYM EQUIPMENT. OUR BIGGEST SURPRISE WAS THE NEED FOR CLOTHS FOR CHILDREN.OUR DONATION COORDINATOR WENT TO WORK AND FOUND A FULL PICK-UP TRUCK TO HELP OUT THE SCHOOL. OVER THREE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS WERE HELPED OUT.
ADVOCACY: THE CHAPTER SENDS A NEW TEAM FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO WASHINGTON D.C. EACH YEAR WITH FOLLOW-UP LETTERS AND VISITS, WHEN POSSIBLE, WITH ARIZONA ELECTED OFFICIALS. WE JOINED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT TO PREVENT FELONY CHARGES AGAINST PEOPLE NOT CONSIDERED FAMILY OR CAREGIVERS TO MAIL A BALLOT IN ARIZONA.
