As our nation continues to battle COVID-19, some communities and individuals have been hit harder than others. In times like this, we need to ensure those who have sacrificed for our nation have the resources they need amidst this crisis. For veterans, there are specific programs and information available from the federal, state, and local government. Below you will find a list of organizations and programs that are supporting our veterans during this time. I encourage you to pass this information on to any service member and, if you have the means, to donate to a local non-profit helping support our veterans.
Thank you,
Michelle Steel
