Four Corvias volunteers spent the day enhancing the outdoor space at Mishawaka Troop Town. The team cleared overgrown vegetation, improved community grounds, and donated household essentials and equipment to support residents.
"The Corvias team continues to show what true partnership looks like," said Jim Methard, president and co-founder of Mishawaka Troop Town. "Their support delivers meaningful, measurable improvements for the men and women who call Mishawaka Troop Town home."
Among the donated items were laundry supplies, trash bags, disinfectant wipes, a bike rack, and a new snowblower to help residents prepare for the winter months.
"Whether supporting military families, students, or veterans transitioning to a new chapter in life, we believe strong communities are built through meaningful partnerships and service,” said Thelma Edgell, president of Corvias' higher education division. “The dedication shown by our team at The Landings at Notre Dame reflects Corvias’ core values and the lasting impact we strive to make in the communities we serve."
Founded to provide stable housing and supportive services for veterans experiencing homelessness, Mishawaka Troop Town offers residents a comprehensive support system designed to foster financial stability, independence, and personal growth. The organization's impact is reflected in stories like that of a veteran who saved enough money during his stay to reunite with his son, move to Florida, and open his own business.
"Mishawaka Troop Town provides an important lifeline for veterans working to rebuild their lives," said Corvias Community Manager, Laura Salyer. "We're grateful for the opportunity to help create a welcoming environment and support the organization's mission."

NEW YORK (AP) — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Wednesday he has a high comfort level in the New Orleans Saints and Pittsburgh Steelers safely playing in Paris on Sunday in light of the civil unrest that could include more protests this weekend in the capital and elsewhere around France.
Goodell at the end of the annual fall owners meeting said he had spoken with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and that officials are in touch with Parisian and French authorities.
“We’ve made all the preparations,” Goodell said. “Protests are not unusual in France, as you know, and that’s something that we will be aware of and make sure that the appropriate arrangements are made.”
Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said in Versailles that the team’s plans have not been affected by the situation. They have been in France since Monday after flying directly from the New York area after playing at the Giants, while the Steelers are set to travel Thursday night.
“We’re continuing to make sure we have all the available information, make sure the appropriate steps are being made,” he said. "We’re guests in the country. We’re going to be good guests, and we’re going to do our thing. And I’m confident they’re going to do theirs. We look forward to it, and I’m leaving shortly to go myself."
New Orleans safety Justin Reid said he and other players are not worried.
Goodell defended the presence of Steve Tisch of the Giants and Jed York of the San Francisco 49ers, each of whom was in attendance for the two-day meeting.
Tisch remains executive vice president and chairman of the board after he and his siblings transferred their stakes to their children earlier this year. Tisch's name was mentioned more than 400 times in Jeffrey Epstein files released in January by the U.S. Justice Department.
After pledging at the Super Bowl there would be a review of Tisch's association with Epstein, Goodell said Wednesday, “Everything we’ve looked at, we understand and I think we’re comfortable with him participating as the Giants suggest.”
Asked if the investigation was ongoing, Goodell said: “I think always we’ll look to see if there’s any new information. We’ll look at it, and we’ll evaluate that.”
Tisch said he knew Epstein but denied going to his island.
York returned from his six-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. He was arrested in a prostitution sting in Ohio in August and pleaded no contest to two misdemeanors but was still punished by the league.
“We went through a full process, obviously, to understand the facts, to understand the issues,” Goodell said. “(We) looked at it under the context of our personal conduct policy, which applies to owners, commissioners, everybody else, players. And it’s something we feel strongly about. I think we need to represent ourselves and our organizations properly. We saw a violation, and we’ve dealt with it from a discipline standpoint. That’s concluded now, and so he’ll be back representing the 49ers.”
Executive VP of football operations Troy Vincent said the two officials who were suspended for their interactions with players earlier this season “crossed the line.” Line judge Jeff Seeman was banned two games for swearing at Arizona tight end Trey McBride, and referee Adrian Hill one game for yelling at Eric Wilson and pointing for him to get away after the Vikings linebacker tried to help him to his feet after a collision knocked him over.
Vincent called the reactions unacceptable, and Goodell said it was a matter of sportsmanship and professional conduct.
“We do want accountability of our officials, but we also want respect between the participants,” Goodell said. “It’s not just player to players. Officials play an important role out there, and they need to be held to the highest standards.”
