Veterans Outreach	We are a unique service organization comprised of veterans and non-veterans, all sharing the common goal to serve and honor all veterans. Veterans contact us daily with problems concerning housing, utilities, auto repair, and a variety of other needs. For the majority of cases, we are able to provide some kind of immediate relief.

We believe that all veterans, regardless of whether they served in active duty or here at home are entitled to our appreciation and we pledge to serve and honor them for their selfless sacrifice and service.
