Lerner & Rowe Gives Back is proud to support Youth for Troops as they continue to make a life-changing difference for veterans and their families. During the 2026 Maricopa County StandDown event, Youth for Troops showcased this mission in action, distributing essential backpacks and “move-in” kits to veterans in need—an initiative that has become a cornerstone of support to local veterans in transition.
Fueled by a $10,000 grant from Lerner & Rowe Gives Back, community service projects like Backpacks for Veterans are expanding their reach, providing tangible relief to those who have served our country.
From hand-written appreciation cards to assembling care packages, Youth for Troops remains a beacon of patriotism and hands-on service.
