Updated 6/5/21 - From March 2020 through early June 2021, our veteran volunteers worked tirelessly to check in on veterans and family members in need, get aid and information to them, and find ways to assist during a historic time of urgent need. Volunteers gave hundreds of hours of their time to this endeavor. We regret that we must pause this vital program due to limited resources and reduced volunteer capacity. Thank you to everyone who has supported our work! We are in the process of transitioning our current client load to get the help they need.
