Veterans Overwatch Foundation
Supporting veterans who are navigating through substance use disorder, PTSD and or homelessness.
ONE "KLICK" AT A TIME.
UNDERSTANDING
63% of recent Afghanistan and Iraq veterans diagnosed with substance use disorder also met the criteria for PTSD. *
To help promote empathy and understanding in the community, we help raise awareness of the issues faced by our local veterans.
Community understanding fosters empathy, support, and appreciation for their sacrifices and leads to more effective and targeted assistance programs, reduces stigma surrounding mental health issues, and ultimately provides better integration and support for our veterans.

OPPORTUNITY
Providing opportunity for our veterans is of utmost importance to us.
We provides clothing to veterans for job interviews, empowering them to make a positive first impression and to increase their chances of securing meaningful employment.
We provide transportation assistance to veterans for essential services. This empowers them to engage in community activities, connect with peers, and regain a sense of autonomy and self-sufficiency.
We help veterans relocate and get settled into their community, to reduce chances of social isolation.
We provide financial support for recreational assistance for veterans in treatment. This helps to promote holistic healing and fosters a sense of camaraderie.
We help connect veterans to community resources, to ensure they receive the assistance and care they deserve after their service.
FRIENDSHIP
We host events for veterans to connect with one another.
These events provide a platform for local veterans to connect, share experiences, and find support in a community of peers who understand their challenges and triumphs.
They were there for us. Now we have the opportunity to be there for them.
