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.
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.

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

Cobb Salutes will present the Fresh Eyes Photography Program, in partnership with the Cherokee County Homeless Veterans Program, providing free photography classes for veterans in Cherokee and Pickens counties. Professional photographers will teach camera skills, composition, visual storytelling, and creative practice through group lessons, assignments, and feedback.
The program is designed to reduce social isolation while building participants’ confidence, photography skills, and well-being. Veterans will also create and share work in a public exhibition and help launch a Cherokee County Veterans’ Photography Club, which will offer ongoing opportunities to practice photography, learn from guest artists, and connect with peers.
