Volunteers needed for House to House for Heroes veterans outreach

Sheriff Patrick McDermott, the Norfolk County Sheriff’s Office, and the Town of Avon’s Veterans’ Service Office will host a veterans-focused “House to House for Heroes” outreach effort on Saturday, September 26, 2026, in Avon. &nbsp; This community-driven initiative allows volunteers to meet the men and women who have given so much to their country through their honorable military service and provides them with an opportunity to deliver essential information about the many benefits, services, and resources available to those veterans. &nbsp; Avon will be the tenth Norfolk County Community visited by volunteers through this veterans’ outreach from the Norfolk County Sheriff’s Office. &nbsp; The event will begin at 9:30 a.m. on September 26th with a kickoff ceremony at VFW Post 8892, located at 263 E Main Street in Avon. From there, volunteers will be assigned homes to conduct their door-to-door outreach of Avon’s veterans. &nbsp; “House to House for Heroes has proven to be an effective way to raise awareness in the veteran community about the resources and financial support available to them,” said Sheriff McDermott. “It’s also proven to be an incredible way for volunteers to learn about the patriotic service and dedication of the veterans in their neighborhoods through one-on-one meetings at veterans’ doorsteps.” &nbsp; Volunteers will distribute informational packets that include guidance on accessing veterans’ benefits, healthcare services, housing and employment resources, and contact information for veteran-focused organizations. &nbsp; Previous successful House to House for Heroes outreach events have been hosted by the Sheriff’s Office in Holbrook, Canton, Foxborough, Stoughton, Walpole, Norfolk, Weymouth, Braintree and Quincy. Volunteers from communities surrounding Avon are welcome and encouraged to participate. &nbsp; Volunteers are asked to arrive by 9:30 a.m. at VFW Post 8892 in Avon, ahead of the kickoff ceremony. &nbsp; Avon House to House for Heroes: &nbsp; Date: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Saturday, September 26, 2026 Location: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;VFW Post 8892, 263 E Main Street in Avon Time: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9:30 a.m. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Volunteer Arrival &amp; Kickoff Ceremony &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10:00 a.m.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Door-to-Door Veteran Outreach Begins &nbsp; No advance registration is required.
