Veterans Support: Strengthening mental, emotional, and social well-being for veteran

Many veterans carry invisible burdens long after their service ends. Through sponsored campouts, healing circles, and community support, we create spaces where veterans can breathe, reflect, and feel understood. Your support helps them rediscover peace that often feels out of reach.

What You Make Possible:

  • Melanated Campout
    A healing retreat where veterans connect with nature and each other. For many, it is the first time in years they feel safe enough to relax, laugh, and let go.
  • Veteran Support Circles
    Small, supportive gatherings that offer community, understanding, and a place to share without judgment.
  • Veteran Sponsorships
    Donor-funded camp spots and wellness activities that ensure cost never stands between a veteran and the healing they deserve.
