The needs of those who heroically served our country can be met more easily when you donate a car to Veterans Helping Veterans. Dedicated volunteers assist former members of the military who need access to resources including mental health services and VA benefits.
If you’ve known a veteran who struggled with reentering society after his or her service, then you’ve seen how much they need the aid of others to find housing and form lasting relationships.
More than 4,000 service members across the nation have benefited from the work of VHV, an organization established in 2018 by two veterans. Together they saw that they could galvanize efforts to form initiatives that would result in emotional, mental and physical health improvements for former and current service members. They pool resources to provide food, shelter, mobile dentistry units and clothing for our nation’s heroes.
In the short time the nonprofit has been in existence it has become a vital part of the community of veterans in North Carolina, Georgia, California and Alabama. Their goal is to connect veterans and their families with services and be a conduit for non-profit organizations that serve heroes in these communities. In Georgia, car donations to Veterans Helping Veterans has provided more services to clients in Clayton, Fayette, Henry, South DeKalb, South Fulton and surrounding areas. There they have strived to serve war heroes by referring them to an extensive network of resources and contacts.
Trained advocates and certified staff members join volunteers in providing manpower for the 501(c)(3). The organization helps veterans file VA disability claims and provides emergency financial assistance, including mental health resources, while tackling such issues as homelessness.
A vehicle donation to Veterans Helping Veterans is an effort to reduce the number of suicides by our vets – which now total about 22 per day in America. The VHV’s #End22 campaign in 2019 has saved the lives of individuals and their families, thanks to the generosity of donors.
Everyone is welcome to join forces with the nonprofit’s work. The VHV website says, “We invite churches, civic organizations and the corporate community to partner with us in bringing awareness to our mission."
