Operation: Veteran Smiles in Quincy

U.S. Cellular associates hand-deliver toiletry kits and cards to the Illinois Veterans Home

U.S. Cellular associates from corporate and agent stores throughout Central Illinois recently helped to extend the reach of Operation: Veteran Smiles, a non-profit organization created by teenager Amelia Day to bring smiles and basic necessities to veterans, by hand-delivering toiletry kits and heartfelt cards to patients at the Illinois Veterans Home in Quincy. This is one of the many ways U.S. Cellular demonstrates its longstanding commitment to the community.
