America’s veterans have served in World War II, the Korean War, Cold War,
Vietnam War, Grenada, Panama, Lebanon, Afghanistan and Iraq.
Many thousands of our needy and disabled veterans served during
the Vietnam era. Most served our country for at least three years, and

About 1.5 million veterans, are considered at risk of
homelessness due to poverty, lack of support networks, and dismal

Government money, while important, is currently limited, and available
services are often at capacity. It is critical, therefore, that community groups
reach out to help provide the support, resources and opportunities

Veterans who participate in collaborative programs are afforded more
services and have higher chances of becoming
tax-paying, productive citizens again.
We are asking for your support.
