“Explore & More is a great place for families to learn and play together and MOD-PAC is proud to sponsor their Veteran’s Day Weekend!” said Daniel Keane, President and CEO of MOD-PAC. “We are grateful for the veterans of our country who sacrifice so much for our freedom, and it is our privilege to help coordinate a toiletry drive for the Friends of Family Support Association which benefits servicemembers of the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station.”
“It’s wonderful to collaborate with MOD-PAC on such an important venture,” said Explore & More’s President & CEO Michelle Urbanczyk. “Not only will children be able to learn more about Veterans Day through fun activities in the museum, but they’ll better understand the nature of helping others through this toiletry drive that directly benefits our soldiers who are stationed locally.”
Explore & More and MOD-PAC are also honored to offer FREE admission for retired and active-duty members of our armed forces on Saturday, November 9 and on Veterans Day (Monday, November 11, 2024).
Please note that adults seeking admission must be accompanied by a child.
On Veterans Day, the museum will host various activities and programs inspired by the dedication and bravery of military personnel. Explore & More staff and visiting families will also assemble wheelchair blankets that will be donated to the Buffalo VA Medical Center.
