Thanks for visiting the Veterans Network @ Comcast fundraising page for the Pack & Boots 5K!
On July 4, 2018 we’ll be honoring the brave service men and women who defend our freedom by running the Veterans Count Pack & Boots 5K through downtown Portsmouth.
All proceeds of the race will benefit Veterans Count, a program of Easterseals, which provides emergency financial assistance for veterans, service members and their families when no other resource is available.
Over the past 10 years, Veterans Count has served more than 10,800 individuals with suicide prevention, homelessness, substance misuse treatment, employment, transportation, and mental health issues resulting from post-traumatic stress disorder and/or traumatic brain injury. Veterans Count supports families through a care coordination model and provides emergency financial assistance for food, home maintenance, housing, rent, fuel assistance, utilities, vehicle repair, gasoline, medical bills, and child care.
We hope you can make a donation to help us reach our fundraising goal. $.90 of every dollar you give will go directly to helping veterans, service member and their families. All contributions are tax deductible.

In 2007, Veterans Count was developed in partnership with Easterseals NH (ESNH), the NH National Guard, and the NH Dept. of Health and Human Services. The program provides services and resources to veterans of all eras and their families.
