Our Program Overview

Veteran Success Stories

Our Programs Make a Difference

ADOPT A VETERAN

Through donations and our corporate partners, we "adopt" veteran families and senior veterans during the holidays. We provide social activities such as a pancake breakfast and pictures with Santa, food, clothing, and Christmas presents.

COAT DRIVE PROGRAM & CHRISTMAS ADOPT A VET

We have provided thousands of winter coats to needy veterans and children. Through our corporate partnerships, we provided over 3,500 coats in 2021 alone.

Each year, our partner corporations provide Christmas presents for veteran families bringing joy and fun to veteran's children each year across Georgia.

VETERAN & COMMUNITY SUPPORT PROGRAM

We partner with donors and various community organizations to provide food, clothing, furniture, rent assistance, utility bill assistance, and community medical services to veterans and their families.

Food Pantry - Contact Us for Information

VA CLAIMS ASSISTANCE

We are very familiar with the VA claims system and the Social Security Administration's SSDI claim system. We partner with experts in these areas and have veteran volunteers who have navigated these systems themselves. This provides a powerful support combination.

VETERAN HOUSING SUPPORT

We help veterans navigate VA programs that can provide access to short-term transitional housing, VA supportive housing, supportive services for veterans with families, per diem, and the 811 program.

AUTO DONATION PROGRAM

We provide donated automobiles to veterans with disabilities to help them with transportation and often to enable them to seek needed employment.

VETERAN HOME REPAIR

Veterans, especially disabled veterans, often have unique housing needs. Our program supports these needs through grants and hands-on work repairing and modifying veteran homes to meet these unique physical needs.

MENTAL HEALTH OUTREACH & HOMELESS VETERANS

Learn about the connections between veteran mental health issues and subsequent homelessness.

FEMALE VETERAN DOMESTIC ABUSE

Learn more about the prevalence of domestic violence against female veterans and responses to this issue.
