What can I do
to Help?
-
Determine the need in your community. Visit with homeless veteran service providers. Contact your mayor’s office for a list of providers, or search the NCHV database.
-
Involve others. If you are not already part of an organization, align yourself with a few other people who are interested in attacking this issue.
-
Participate in local homeless coalitions. Chances are, there is one in your community. If not, this could be the time to bring people together around this critical need.
-
Make a donation to your local homeless veteran service provider.
-
Contact your elected officials. Discuss what is being done in your community for homeless veterans.
We are always looking to help veterans. Several ways we help them are providing clothing, temporary shelter, food during the holidays and other means. Government money, while important, is 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 that most Americans take for granted: housing, employment and health care.
Veterans who participate in collaborative programs are afforded more services and have higher chances of becoming tax-paying, productive citizens again. Click the donate button below and help us out. Thank you for supporting your veterans

Many veterans are in need of help. there are more than 49,000 homeless veterans acording to HUD and 1.4 million are at risk of becoming homeless. .America’s homeless veterans have served in World War II, the Korean War, Cold War, Vietnam War, Grenada, Panama, Lebanon, Persian Gulf War, Afghanistan and Iraq (OEF/OIF), and the military’s anti-drug cultivation efforts in South America. Nearly half of homeless veterans served during the Vietnam era. Two-thirds served our country for at least three years, and one-third were stationed in a war zone.
The most effective programs for homeless and at-risk veterans are community-based, nonprofit, “veterans helping veterans” groups. Programs that seem to work best feature transitional housing with the camaraderie of living in structured, substance-free environments with fellow veterans who are succeeding at bettering themselves.
