This Gala will bring veterans and active duty military personnel together to recognize the service and sacrifice of each member. It gives those in attendance a chance to reflect on the work they have accomplished and the impact they have had on our nation. The City of Boston Office of Veterans’ Services is looking forward to recognizing those service members and highlighting the advocacy and assistance our office has provided to our Boston veterans. 

Attendees can look forward to a gala featuring reunions, heartfelt tributes, and opportunities to connect with fellow supporters of our heroes. Boston Veterans Services aims to serve recognize, engage, and advocate for our veterans and their families, by connecting them with the services and resources they've earned.

There will be food, drinks, conversations, dancing, and wonderful ceremonies that help bring everyone together and enjoy the night.

Welcome Home Bunch is an opportunity for organizations to provide information and resources to veterans attending the event through tabling. Veterans will be able to apply to programs that meet their specific needs and learn about the different opportunities available to them. Brunch will also be served where veterans can interact with each other and representatives from each organization over a meal.
