During the month of November, the Jone L. Bowman Family Foundation will be donating $1 for each mile that D.M. Bowman Inc.’s three military themed trucks drive throughout the east coast. These trucks will be driven by three amazing military Veterans who have been dedicated employees to our company.

D.M. Bowman Inc. has selected Platoon 22, a local nonprofit, to receive this donation. This organization plans to open a Veteran’s Center in Frederick, MD which will house necessary services under one roof including classes, counseling, benefits navigation, job training and placement, financial education and support in order to create a smooth transition for veterans into civilian life. With more than 370,000 veterans living in Maryland, this center will assist a large group of individuals to eliminate barriers that they face and give them assistance to reach their full potential.

To learn more about their organization, you can visit their website at https://platoon22.org.

“Our family foundation would like to thank each and every one of our active military service members and veteran employees. We are grateful to be able to donate to such to worthy cause.” – Samantha Bodnar (Bowman Family Foundation, Member)

“I am beyond grateful to see the Bowman Family make this contribution to assist veterans as they transition back to civilian life.  We have found that veteran’s make some of our best employees.  D.M. Bowman, Inc is excited to do what we can do to ensure a successful transition to stable employment for those that have risked their lives for the safety and freedom of our country.” – Brian Hall (D.M. Bowman, Inc. CEO & COO)
