        alt="Veteran received gift bag"  Fort Pitt Sharing and Caring Boat Ride 2006    For the past 19 years Fort Pitt Chapter has branded with local veterans group Sharing and Caring for their annual Veterans Boat Ride.  Every September for one week hospitalized veterans from Pittsburgh and surrounding areas are treated to a day on the Majestic.  This includes lunch, social activities and gift bags.  In addition to assisting veterans on the boat, our chapter obtains items and packs 1,000 gift bags.  We also have an annual Sock Drive throughout the company.  We collect approximately 2,000 pairs.  Verizon also generously allows the use of their Transportation Department to store and transport the gift bags.  This has become one of our annual projects, in which we have not only have the support of the company, a number of pioneer volunteers, but also the opportunity to brand with another organization in helping bring happiness to "our much deserving Veterans".
