VeteranOwnedBusiness.com is proud to welcome: Veterans Hope to the Veteran Owned Business Directory Non Profit Section.
From Veterans Hope:
“It is no secret that our veteran’s and their families are crying for help. All too often though, help is never received…servicemen and women and their families simply do not know who to turn to for help. Veterans’ Hope Mobile Command Center will travel all across the country…reaching out to our service men and women and their families at the grass roots level. The Command Center will harness the efforts of hundreds of charitable organizations, whose charters are to support our men and women in uniform and their families. The Command Center will also link our servicemen and women to Veteran Owned Businesses if needed.
We will reach out to our veterans and their families at events all across the country, to include NASCAR, NHRA and other motor sports venues, as well as community celebrations like “Seattle Seafair” and “Fleet Week.” Getting information into the hands of those who need it is an overwhelming task. The Mobile Command Center will take on that task and deliver “Hope” personally.
The Mobile Command Center will utilize a comprehensive database of service organizations, veteran owned businesses, as well as carry brochures, pamphlets, business cards and whatever else organizations would like to distribute. By connecting veterans and their families to the right organizations, the Mobile Command Center can help improve the quality of life…one service member and one family member at a time! We will show our heroes that help does exist. Click here for more information about Veterans Hope and to find out how you can help them help our veterans!
