FITCHBURG, Mass.–Lanni Orchards held its second annual Home Base Program Adventure Series. The program, sponsored by the Red Sox Foundation and Mass General Hospital provides clinical care and support services to New England area service members, veterans and families affected by combat or deployment-related.
“The Home Base Program invites 100 area servicemen and women and their families to an outing where they can enjoy a relaxed, fun-filled day, meet other veterans, and learn more about what the Home Base Program has to offer,” said Nathan Glenny, Event Coordinator for Lanni Orchards. “This year, IC Federal Credit Union, as part of their ongoing support of local Veterans, offered to sponsor the event, and donated $2,000.00 to the Home Base Program. Needless to say, we are extremely grateful.”
“IC sponsors a monthly breakfast at the Fitchburg Airport for local veterans,” said Tony Emerson, CEO, “and we are humbled to be a part of giving back to those who gave so much. In fact, inspired by our desire to help our Veterans, we created a special suite of financial products and services, appropriately named, Veterans Salute Suite, first of its kind in the area,” said Emerson.
