Encouraging National Involvement
Our Purpose
Our organization is dedicated to promoting awareness for military and veteran heroes who face challenges in everyday life when they return home. Many veterans come back with physical injuries, PTSD, and other disabilities that make reintegrating into civilian life difficult. We aim to bring awareness and encourage more people to help those who have served our country. Donating to charities that focus on rehabilitating veterans is a significant way to contribute, but monetary donations are not the only way to help. You can also donate clothes, food, and other necessities. Participating in events organized by these charities is another great way to get involved. These heroes fought for our freedom, and it's only right that we stand by them in their time of need.
Events
Stand Downs are events held for one to three days that provide veterans with services, food, and shelter. Veterans are also given referrals to other services and helped through the process of getting back on their feet financially. For more information or a list of Stand Downs near you, read the Official VA Page on Stand Downs.
