A Year of Service: LOVE BOXES FOR OUR TROOPS

Metro Multifamily Association committee members are taking on “A Year in Service” a way of our industry giving back to our communities. We will be working toward our goal of 200 filled boxes to be mailed overseas to Oregon & Washington military. Everyone can contribute to this very important mission. Last month 2,800 men and women left for Iraq (all from the Portland area). It was the largest deployment ever for the 41st Combat Brigade. The boxes we fill will go directly to our soldiers from Oregon & Washington. » Click here for easy instructions to send your own Box of Love
