Christy Lucas spent 17 years as an educator in Hanover, Pennsylvania and felt called to leave her career to start a charity to serve veterans full-time.
Christy saw that some veterans in her community were struggling, which didn’t sit well with her, considering these brave people had served our country.
So, she launched a charity called Roots for Boots.
Among other activities, Roots for Boots organizes a monthly food drive. In the beginning, it served eight veterans in need. But since then, it has grown to serve nearly 90 veterans, with the help of dozens of volunteers.

A Pennsylvania woman left her full-time job as an educator after 17 years to launch a charity aimed at helping veterans.
Christy Lucas said her inspiration to launch her charity, Roots for Boots, came from a calling to give to those who have served our country.
“I always had a giving heart and always just wanted to help people, and I think it just comes natural,” Lucas told CBS News.
Even when she served as a teacher and later principal at Annunciation School, she made sure “love of country” was always in the lesson plan.
“Veteran’s Day was my favorite,” she told WHTM. “I loved having military in our school.”
