9 Operation challenges brought on by COVID-19 didn’t stop Hawaii Air National Guard Airmen from continuing their tradition of giving this 2020 holiday season.
As part of their efforts to help provide community members in-need with a ‘little something nice’ during the holiday months, Airmen from the 154th Logistics Readiness Squadron participated in an Angel Tree donation program. The project, sponsored by the Salvation Army, engages volunteers to gather donations to fulfill Christmas wish lists for in-need elderly and children.
“It’s gratifying to be able to give back to the community,” said Tech. Sgt. Ashley Mooney, 154th LRS first sergeant and a co-coordinator for this year’s effort. “I think this year hits a little harder with the layoffs happening in the community due to COVID. Knowing that so many of our neighbors are seeking help during this time, we felt an even stronger urge to give support.”
