VBRG Chapter Spotlight: Chesapeake

Our Chesapeake VBRG visited Alpha & Omega Working Dogs Training Facility to learn about their partnership with Paws Healing Heroes. Together they rescue dogs from shelters and train them to become Service Dogs over the course of 6 to 18 months. Once trained, the dogs are paired with veterans in need at no cost.

Vet Spotlight: Brooke K.
_____
As a US Navy veteran who supported operations during the post-occupation of Iraq, Brooke came to UPS to join our Global Logistics and Distribution (GLD) team. In 2022, she earned the Red Service Award and a promotion. Brooke attributes her success here to the skills she gained in the military. She continues to give back by participating in our VBRG.
"As a veteran community, we’re only as strong as our non-veteran advocates. One of the great things about UPS—we’re surrounded by non-veteran advocates."
