ASSURANCE OF NEEDS MET
/in Spotlight of the Week /by Hunter ConradToday we would like to spotlight a “Case of the Week.” A veteran that we’ve helped over the years that had numerous medical problems and operations needed to go to Georgia for an operation. He was able to pay for the airfare but needed help before the operation. We were able to pay for a hotel and provide food for this veteran.
We were also able to provide him fresh foods from our Freedom Food Pantry and clothing from our Heroes’ Closet. As we always say, every day is Veterans’ Day at Veterans’ Outreach!
LIFELINE FOR A BETTER FUTURE
/in Spotlight of the Week /by Hunter ConradToday we would like to spotlight a “Case of the Week.” A caseworker called at the end of the day and asked if we can help pay the phone bill for a homeless veteran that needed to keep in contact with the VA for his for medical and housing appointments.
The caseworker thanked us after we paid the phone bill and told us that we were the only agency that would take the time at the end of the day to provide this service for this veteran. We are very happy to be able to give this veteran the lifeline he desperately needed to better his life. We were also able to provide him fresh foods from our Freedom Food Pantry and clothing from our Heroes’ Closet. As we always say, every day is Veterans’ Day at Veterans’ Outreach!
Case of the Week 3-15-2021
/in Spotlight of the Week /by Hunter ConradToday, we would like to spotlight a “Case of the Week”. A veteran that had lost his job due to Covid 19 has been looking for a new job for six months. He came to our office a few days ago with the best news. He had finally been hired to a position that he was very excited about. The problem was that he didn’t have the resources to get back and forth until his first pay. We were able to offer him fuel gift cards to free up the snag of transportation.
BLIND VETERAN AVOIDS HOMELESSNESS
/in Spotlight of the Week /by Hunter ConradToday, we would like to spotlight a “Case of the Week”. A blind disabled veteran was in a situation where he was near homeless. A partnering agency was able to step up to help with the security deposit. We were able to pay his rent and he was able to move in immediately. It’s a great feeling when things come together so quickly and completely for a veteran in urgent distress.
“Color” Blind
/in News /by Hunter ConradRacism should be talked about where it exists and confront it for what it is – WRONG! The Military had their hands full in the 60’s and 70’s, for it was bold and alive. You think Woodstock might have made it less of an issue with their “Love Power”! Read more
