The Manchester Chapter of Veterans Count, the philanthropic arm of Easterseals Military & Veterans Services (M&VS), is holding its 11th Annual Salute Our Soldiers (SOS) Breakfast on October 24, from 7:30 to 9:00 a.m. at The Manchester Downtown Hotel (formerly the Radisson). The patriotic breakfast will recognize veterans and service members in attendance, inspirational stories from Easterseals clients, guest speakers from business that support Veterans Count, and a keynote address from General (R) David Perkins.

The mission of Veterans Count is to provide critical and timely financial assistance and services when no other resource is available to veterans, service members and their families, to ensure their dignity, health and overall well-being. Veterans Count offers a hand up, not a hand out. Read More
