Fort Drum BOSS volunteers make community impact
FORT DRUM, N.Y. (WWTI) – Fort Drum's BOSS Center is giving soldiers on the base a chance to volunteer. Soldiers looking for volunteer opportunities need only to visit the Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers Center and sign up for a worthwhile cause in the community. Fort Drum BOSS hosted a Red Cross Blood Drive, supported a North Country Pet Adoption program in Jefferson County, and assisted patrons at the Veterans Food Pantry in Watertown just for the month of April. Fort Drum museum unveils exhibit showcasing WWII veteran's artwork Spc. Joshua Silva, 1st Brigade Combat Team BOSS representative and volunteer coordinator, said the latter event is scheduled every third Saturday and it happened to coincide with a long Easter holiday weekend. Soldiers joined dozens of community volunteers to support local veterans in the Feed Our Vets program. We didn't intend on dipping into people's holiday plans. So, for those who are here and chose to volunteer, they obviously wanted to do something good for our community. Spc. Joshua Silva, 1st Brigade Combat Team BOSS representative and volunteer coordinator Silva said that when soldiers volunteer, it reflects positively on the Army and the 10th Mountain Division, and it strengthens community bonds. Many of the volunteers with the Feed Our Vets program are former military members who come back monthly to keep the food pantry up and running. Spc. Lisa Dayoub, BOSS secretary, has been with the organization for nearly a year and has participated in many community service activities. 'I just like helping people,' Dayoub said. 'It's a great opportunity to get soldiers out of their rooms and get that fulfillment of knowing they are helping others.' Silva said he also seeks community service projects outside of the BOSS program, like working with the unit ministry team to rebuild a sign, or an outdoor beautification project in the brigade area to improve quality of life. To learn more about BOSS volunteer opportunities, call (315) 772-7807, stop by the BOSS center in Bldg. 10650 on 5th Armored Division Drive, or visit Fort Drum community members also can learn more about volunteering by speaking with a Volunteer Corps coordinator at 315-772-2899 or visiting the Family Resource Center, Bldg. 11042 on Mount Belvedere Boulevard.
