Military Friends Foundation Hero Meals program provides grocery gift cards to local military families, Gold Star families and veterans ahead of Thanksgiving. The Swampscott-based group operates the program as a way to say “thank you” to those who have protected the United States both at home and abroad. On Tuesday, the foundation hosted a Thanksgiving Hero Meals event in Swampscott for local veterans, military families, and Gold Star Families. Eligible attendees received a $100 grocery gift card and a pie. In support of the Thanksgiving holiday, Military Friends Foundation is providing more than $50,000 in Hero Meals support to military families at Hanscom Air Force Base, Gold Star families, and veterans statewide. Hero Meals is a year-round program that accepts donations of restaurant and food gift cards.
