Foresters Financial™, an international financial services provider, teamed up with Financial Horizons Group to package and donate 150 employment kits for U.S. armed forces veterans’ group Operation Stand Down in Nashville, Tennessee.
Operation Stand Down is a non-profit organization that helps veterans and their families transition from military to civilian life by providing support like legal aid, transitional housing, benefits counseling and employment services.
The employment kits include a messenger bag, pens, highlighters, folders, notepads, material to write résumés, and a USB key to hold files and documents.
“For over 140 years Foresters Financial has focused on helping families and building strong communities,” said Jason Julian, Assistant Vice President National Accounts, North American Life Insurance and Annuity at Foresters Financial. “Supporting Operation Stand Down's work with veterans mirrors these values and allows us to give back to those who've given so much."
“At Financial Horizons we strive to make the world we live in a better place,” said David Stewart, President MGA Services and Ontario, Financial Horizons Group. “Our partner Foresters, helped us do this in Nashville by organizing an event for our team attending an industry conference to support veterans from the US military. Our ability to help support our fellow communities in any way makes a difference. We hope our contribution helps in some way!”
