Whenever services are involved in these emergency needs, the Metrowest Veteran\u2019s Emergency Relief Fund strives to hire local businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"572\" src=\"http:\/\/kofcswingforcharity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Veterans1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kofcswingforcharity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Veterans1.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/kofcswingforcharity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Veterans1-300x172.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/kofcswingforcharity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Veterans1-768x439.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The MetroWest Veterans Services District, which encompasses the towns of Ashland, Holliston, Hopkinton &amp;
