Resilient Warrior: Assists Veterans who need to file for access to care and benefits through the Department of Veteran Affairs, Social Security Administration, their state and other resources through non-government organizations or individuals. The intent is to assist Veterans in maintaining a normal lifestyle in the face of adverse life conditions and occasionally assist with more than paperwork. In 2022 we:
- Provided help to 48 Veterans
- Provided a combined $1 million dollars back to our Veterans by getting them back into society receiving their social security and VA benefits
VALOR relies on its volunteer base to make these programs effective and possible. We have a core team in place for the four programs, and more than 850 volunteers who get involved throughout the year. They directly contribute their time and talent through local recruitment with their churches, scout troops, legion posts and civic groups to donate and food and clothing drives for us.
