On the road again: Veterans Day Parade

The Ohio Benefit Bank Mobile Express is back on the road! In lieu of a christening ceremony for the newly styled Mobile Express, we instead gave it a rousing send off by participating in the Columbus Veteran’s Day Parade.



Not only was this a great chance to thank our Veterans for their service, but it was also a fantastic opportunity to reach out to hundreds of people in Columbus. The Ohio Benefit Bank helps veterans apply for the tuition assistance and training that they have earned, including resources like the Post 9/11 G.I. Bill. (Click here to apply today)

We were joined by several OBB regional coordinators and other staff members from the Ohio Association of Foodbanks, all of whom helped pass out nearly 500 flyers about veteran-specific benefits. Our candy throwers, on the other hand, seemed to have an inexplicable popularity with the “ages 5 and under” bracket. Hmmm....



We couldn't have asked for a better way to showcase the Mobile Express’s brand new look, nor a better way to get excited about our upcoming events.
