The Center for Military and Veterans Services is proud to announce a significant milestone in our ongoing mission to empower and support our nation’s veterans.
Over the past three weeks, our dedicated Development Team has coordinated and facilitated a remarkable $200,000 in donations from two generous family foundations, as well as other donors.
This achievement not only reflects the team’s unwavering commitment to our cause, but also highlights the trust and support our community partners have in our vision to improve the lives of military service members, veterans, and their families.
These contributions will directly fuel vital programs aimed at workforce development, health and wellness, and community integration for those who have served. The Development Team’s tireless efforts in building relationships and fostering collaboration have made this outcome possible, opening the door for new opportunities and lasting impact. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the family foundations and to everyone who supports our Center’s work.
