6 Ways You Can Help Veterans in Your Community

    • Make a donation to a local veteran-focused initiative like MISSION UNITED.

 

    • Volunteer your time by serving on a committee or becoming a mentor to a veteran. You can use resources like United Way’s All for Good tool to find volunteer opportunities near you. 

 

    • Donate to your local veteran’s charity monetarily or through often-needed supplies like gift cards, toiletries, household goods, etc.

 

    • Hire a veteran. If you are in charge of hiring for your organization, consider hiring a veteran to help them re-acclimate to civilian life.

 

    • Advocate at the local, state, and national level on behalf of veterans’ rights.

 

    • Spread the word! There is no better referral or advertising than word of mouth. Share the incredible work being done in your community.
