Thru the Lens: The Peabody Companies’ Cope receives award from iPODS For Wounded Veterans for Service to Nonprofit

Braintree, MA The Peabody Companies, a group of award-winning property management and real estate firms, is proud to announce that Senior Resident Services Manager Jacquie Cope, LICSW has been awarded a Certificate of Excellence from iPODS for Wounded Veterans.

iPODS for Wounded Veterans, based in Wilmington, is a non-profit organization that since 2011 has brought thousands of electronics and gifts to badly injured members of the U.S. military who served in the Kuwait, Iraq and Afghanistan Wars and are now recovering at military hospitals.

“We have worked with iPODS for Wounded Veterans since 2017. They have always been great about donating electronics, homemade cards, and other items to our Veterans,” said Cope. “I’ve helped them promote their organization by spreading out the donations to the Peabody Companies’ Valley Brook Village, Bedford Green and Howard Apartments.”

Cope said that due to COVID, representatives of the organization were unable to travel to many of the sites they normally distribute to “and were glad to have a local connection to be able to provide electronic devices for Veterans in need.”

The Certificate of Excellence, signed by Paul Cardello, Chairman of iPODS for Wounded Veterans, honors Cope for her “outstanding performance and dedication to the injured United States of America Servicemen and Women.”

“We are so proud of Jacquie and her dedication to such an important organization,” said Melissa Fish-Crane, principal and COO of the Peabody Companies.
