Volunteer Programs The Friends of Veterans is 100% volunteer; staff, Board members, committees, etc. We are very proud of the fact that 100% of all funding received goes towards providing services to our homeless veterans and their families. The Friends of Veterans' organization appreciates and truly values its volunteers. We have a series of volunteer programs, some short term while others are more on going in nature. If you would like to take part in this rewarding experience, please go to the Volunteer Page in this website to learn more details about the current volunteer opportunities. |

That same spirit which started the Friends of Veterans 24 years ago still exist today. Our mission and vision remains the same and the staff and Board of Directors are still 100% volunteer. In light of all they have sacrificed for America, the thought of our veterans and their families going without food, being cold due to the lack of proper clothing or a source of heat, forced to resort to living in the woods in tents or makeshift shelters, is unacceptable. The volunteers at the Friends of Veterans advocate for change and make every effort to prevent homelessness amongst our veterans and their families. |
