On November 14, 2015 PBYR and the Heinzen-Ditter VFW shared a table at the Plymouth Home Depot Store for Veteran’s Appreciation Day. Many of the Vets told me that they came to Home Depot just for this celebration—not to obtain materials for home repair projects. Special thanks to Sylvia, Doug and Paul for donating several hours to honor Vets that stopped by our table to chat. PBYR has great appreciation for Plymouth Home Depot’s efforts for hosting his yearly event with barbeque grilling and all that they do to help Veterans and their families in Plymouth!!!
Heinzen-Ditter VFW, 19020 Hamel Rd, Plymouth, MN 55446 will host a breakfast and Veteran’s program this Saturday (November 14, 2015) starting at 8 am.

On November 7, 2015 PBYR and community partners helped a 86 year young veteran and his wife move to new housing. This moving event was completed on a Saturday and involved over 45 individuals that worked very hard to assist this family. PBYR send kudos and thanks to all our partners in this effort: PLYMOUTH FIRE DEPARTMENT, WAYZATA FOOTBALL TEAM VOLUNTEERS AND THEIR COACHES, HOME DEPOT and volunteers that provided trucks, trailers, muscles, and food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These community efforts represent the health, spirit and vitality of Plymouth.
PBYR could not have provided this service without the coordination and help from our partners. The service member was very appreciative and stated he was overwhelmed by the number of people that volunteered to help a stranger.
The Sun Sailor recently did a nice story on the move that you can view here.
Below we have some pictures of the hard working volunteers. Please click on the images to make them larger. Again, a huge round of thanks for all the help.
In October 2015 PBYR helped a Veteran who recently lost temporary employment with the repair of his car’s brake light, a Holiday gas card and gave him helpful employment leads. He was very appreciative of PBYR’s efforts.
