We are combining two projects into one, Operation Veteran Empowerment (OVE). Dixon Center is massing the number of resources from partner organizations.

Operation Veteran Empowerment is the result of combining two projects – Women Veterans Emergency Financial Assistance and the original Operation Veteran Empowerment. This single project will comprehensibly align with two important programs across two pillars, at once – Wellness and Basic Needs.
