Thank you Greystone Health Network for choosing #VOAFL as one of your volunteer destinations this past Thursday! It was a pleasure and honor to work beside you as you built new patio chairs, created 4 community gardens, power washed the buildings and much more! The #Veterans living here at the James Cole Village in City of Tampa Government are so excited to watch their fruits and vegetables grow as well as fill their belly's with their hard work. Thank you again, we look forward to working with you again in the near future!
