November 11, 2020, Toledo, Ohio: 1-800-SWEEPER is excited to announce their partnership with Veterans Matter to raise money for our homeless veterans with the 800 Challenge campaign. Veterans Matter is nationwide 501 © that aids in getting veterans in housing and back on their feet.
Homeless veterans need us right now, more than ever. We are inviting the nation to take the 800 Challenge and end veteran homelessness this Holiday season. Beginning November 11h and running until December 30th, we are asking for donations to place our homeless military men and women into permanent housing.
The 800 Challenge is a fundraising effort created by 1-800-SWEEPER and is looking to raise $80,000 for the cause. 1-800-SWEEPER’s local Partner, Progressive Sweeping Contractors, will kick off the campaign in Toledo on Veterans Day, November 11th via a series of eblasts, social media posts and print media coverage.
Ben Steyer, Executive Director of 1-800-SWEEPER says, “giving back is paramount to our organization’s culture. We fully support our veterans and look forward to raising a lot of money for the 800 Challenge.”
