“Together, we are ensuring that Veterans and their families are heard, supported, and never left behind.” – Anthony Paolino, Strategic Advisor, CMVS We are proud
Dixon Center for Military and Veterans Services is excited to unveil recent updates to our website, reflecting both the evolution of our work and our continued commitment to veterans and their families. These enhancements underscore our role as a force multiplier—amplifying the efforts of our partners through collaboration, innovation, and strategic support.
We’ve redesigned our landing page to reflect that our purpose, making the lives of veterans and their families better, drives everything we do; and our belief, that veterans and military families can succeed where they live and that every organization, across all sectors of society, can effectively integrate veterans and their families into their organization and existing programs. This reinforces our identity as a bridge between sectors, connecting veteran needs with local solutions and national resources.
One of the most visible changes is the expansion of our leadership team. With new perspectives and deep expertise, we have strengthened our ability to mobilize individuals and organizations to drive systemic change for those who have served.

Our “Our Work” pages have been restructured to better reflect Dixon Center’s focus on capacity building. The updated sections—Work with Purpose, Heal with Honor, and Live with Hope—showcase how we act as a catalyst for community-based solutions, helping organizations across sectors enhance their impact on veterans and their families.
Finally, we’ve also enhanced our “Ways to Give” page to make supporting our mission more accessible and impactful. These updates aim to empower our donors and partners to contribute in ways that align with their personal financial strategies and philanthropic goals.
We invite you to explore the new features and content on our website. Your feedback is welcome as we continue to evolve and improve. Together, we can create meaningful, lasting outcomes for veterans and their families.
