We're Here To Help Serve Those That Served
Although flawless counts are impossible to come by – the transient nature of homeless population presents a major difficulty – the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) estimates that 40,056 veterans are homeless on any given night. Over the course of the year, approximately twice that many experience homelessness.
Did you know only 7% of the general population can claim veteran status, but nearly 13% of the homeless adult population are veterans?
The men and women who served in our military did so with honor and dignity while asking for very little in return, and we want to give back to them.
We've partnered with other veterans organizations to come together and provide as many resources as possible for our veterans, bringing as many vets as possible out into the community and letting them know they are not alone.
With Your Help We Provide Real-time Resources
Last year's Resource Fair served 200 veterans with an array of resources such as suits, computers, housing help, mediation services, career opportunities, legal services, workbooks, info about higher education, mental health services, and more.
38 generous sponsors attended and made it all possible. Become a 2023 Resource Fair sponsor and be a part of something positive!
*All donations to this project will go directly towards funding our Veteran's Resource Fair.
