After long-time collaboration with organizations like Operation Stand Down Tennessee, VetLinx, Centerstone Military Services and Wounded Warrior Project, we discovered the need for a direct approach to support our military families faced with unforeseen challenges of day-to-day expenses like groceries, car repair, rent or mortgage. We created the Veteran Emergency Assistance program in 2018. If you would like to help, please Text “GIVE” to +1 615 240 5360 and select “Veteran Emergency Assistance” – your donation directly supports our military and veteran community.
