Greater Williamsburg Sends 43 Home for the Holidays

Williamsburg, VA- The Greater Williamsburg Chamber of Commerce's Military Affairs Committee was able to send 43 active duty service members, stationed at the U.S. Coast Guard Training Center and US Navy Naval Weapons Station in Yorktown, home this year through its Home for the Holidays fundraising campaign. 

These service members come from across the country and need assistance to make the trip home for the holidays to be reunited with the people they love. Thanks to the generosity of a number of supporters, the GWCC was able to send home a new record high of 43 individuals.
