Mount Olivet Rolling Acres Expands Program For Wounded Service Members in 2010
In an effort to thank wounded service men and women returning from Iraq and Afghanistan for their service to our country, Mount Olivet Rolling Acres began offering no cost vacations for wounded veterans and their families at our McGregor Cabins in 2008. Our resort property, used primarily by our consumers with disabilities, provides accessible facilities in a scenic, peaceful setting where these deserving service members can relax, recreate, recover, and reconnect with family.
Due to the highly rewarding success of this program, more dates have been reserved for these vacations in 2010 during an expanded season at the McGregor Cabins.
