The Veteran In Need program, launched in 2023, is an extension of our Veteran Angel Tree initiative. While our board greatly valued the Veteran Angel Tree program, they wanted to provide support to veterans year-round, rather than just during the holiday season. Thanks to a successful fundraiser, the board decided to create the Veteran In Need program to assist our military heroes throughout the year.
We collaborate with local and federal government agencies, such as CapSLO, Good Samaritans, and VASH, to supply furniture and other essential items for homeless veterans transitioning into housing. This program ensures that veterans receive ongoing support and the resources they need to build a stable and comfortable home.
