What people are saying...ESA Hope for Heroes Block Parties
"I've been wanting to start a new chapter in a neighboring town for a while now, and when I saw this block party idea, I knew this was PERFECT to get it going. We're going to sponsor a community-wide drive to collect care package items for the troops. It's a great way to get the word out about ESA, it's the kind of thing businesses love to support, and we know we can meet lots of people for our new chapter while we support our troops!"
- Sandra Messenger, KS
"In Kentucky, we decided to work together as a state to target one new area for a new chapter. We chose Paducah and every chapter is doing something to help with this project. There is already a Veterans' Day Parade there, and we are getting permission to put collection boxes for donations to the troops along the parade route and distribute information about ESA while we work the collection boxes. We're also involving area schools in our project because we hope parents of school kids and their teachers will join our new chapter too. Great Way to help the troops AND ESA."

"The ESA neighbor to neighbor block parties supporting us soldiers and our families are such a fabulous idea, once again ESA finds a way to involve the entire community in something good. I hope my fellow ESA members will participate. It means so much to us over here to know we have the support of people at home and are in your thoughts and prayers. I am so proud not only to be serving my country but to be an ESA member accomplishing so much together. THANK YOU."
