We see their goals and what they’re doing, and it aligns with exactly what we’re trying to accomplish,” states Mr. Duncan. “We felt that it was a perfect fit to be able to work together to assist our nation’s heroes as well as their families.”

In addition to the coin program, The Charitable Mint recently provided funds to help a military family with a special needs daughter fighting illness. “When learning about this little girl’s story, we at the Charitable Mint were completely touched and really wanted to reach out an help the family and this little girl,” expresses Mr. Duncan.
