HELPING OUR TROOPS (H.O.T) is an all-volunteer, non-profit 501(c)(3) public charity home based out of Stoneham, Massachusetts. This program was created in an effort to support our American Hero's from Massachusetts serving overseas.
Here we are in 2018...never did we imagine our program to still be in full force but the battle continues and so do we! To this day we stand true to our words and firm on our promise! SPECIAL THANKS to all our supporters throughout the years for you continued support, we couldn't do this without YOU!!!
Helping Our Troops has supported many local soldiers over the years and made many new friends along the way. Here is a video created back in 2012 that gives you a glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes and just what this program means to our soldiers serving overseas.
Members of the National Guard 182nd Infantry stopped by to thank us....Colonel Tom Stewart, Battalion Commander, Sgt. John O'Riordan, Pfc Johnson and Pfc Young.
Thank you to Alan McRae for putting together this wonderful video!
