The Greenwell Foundation’s Vacations for Vets program is the recipient of a $1,500 donation from Northrop Grumman Corp. This is the second consecutive year that Northrop Grumman contributed to the program.

Vacations for Vets is a respite program for U.S. armed forces members offering disabled veterans and their families no-cost weekend stays at the fully accessible Knott Lodge. Their stay is free due to the  generosity of volunteers and local businesses.

‘‘Northrop Grumman is a longtime supporter of the Greenwell Foundation. We are grateful for the generous donation to the Vacations for Vets program. It will help ensure that we can provide more weekends this year for our veterans and their families,” said Jolanda Campbell, executive director of the Greenwell Foundation.

Greenwell anticipates serving at least 24 service members and their families in 2009.

The Greenwell Foundation is a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization dedicated to providing inclusive and universally accessible programs, services, and facilities at Greenwell State Park.
