The holidays came early for the widow of a decorated U.S. Army veteran, whose home received a special pre-Thanksgiving makeover courtesy of the Burlington County Division of Military Veteran Affairs, The Home Depot Foundation, and the Patriot Fund.
The Home Depot Foundation and the Patriot Fund awarded Burlington County a $5,000 grant for the improvements to the Eastampton home of Tanya Pope, the widow of Army veteran, Joseph Pope Jr.
“Properly honoring our nation’s veterans and their families is a responsibility we all share and we are incredibly grateful to The Home Depot Foundation and the Patriot Fund for helping make the holidays brighter for Mrs. Pope and her family,” said Burlington County Commissioner Allison Eckel, who helped kickoff the service project on Tuesday morning with Joe Caruso, co-founder of the Patriot Fund and owner of the Trenton Thunder baseball club, and Pedro Santiago, store manager of The Home Depot in Ewing, New Jersey.
