Friend,

Ever wonder what Veterans Day really means to those who’ve served? For many veterans, it’s a day of honor but also a reminder that life back home can get lonely and very tough.

Steve is an Air Force veteran who served worldwide. When he returned home, he felt like an outsider, like he didn’t belong anymore. He struggled to find his footing, eventually facing homelessness with no clear path forward.

Stand with Veterans: Donate to Support Healing

With VOA, Steve received emergency relief, safe housing, mental health support and job training. After feeling lost for so long, he found a place that welcomed him. Steve finally felt like himself again.

Your support truly matters! Can you help with a much-needed donation now that will give emergency relief and ongoing support to veterans and those in crisis?

Rising costs mean more of our heroes are battling hunger and homelessness, as more and more people arrive at our VOA centers for help. 

This Veterans Day, let's pledge together that our American heroes will get the emergency relief and fresh start they deserve. Can they count on you?

With gratitude,

Tanisha Smith

Vice President, Volunteers of America

P.S. Thank you for considering support for vets like Steve, whose challenges don't end even when their service does. Together, we'll be there!
