Our Mission

Who We Are
Our Vets: Renewing Purpose. Restoring Hope. Rebuilding Lives.
Our Vets is a tax-exempt public charity under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. EIN 39-3418352. View our IRS determination letter.
Our Vets is a veteran-focused nonprofit committed to improving the lives of U.S. military veterans and their families - especially those facing homelessness, addiction, mental health crises, or barriers to accessing earned benefits. We believe every veteran deserves dignity, stability, and a community that refuses to leave anyone behind.
We help veterans identify and pursue the federal, state, and local benefits they may be entitled to, providing guidance with paperwork, evidence gathering, and navigation of the VA system. When basic needs are at risk, we connect homeless veterans to transitional and permanent housing solutions and the essential services required to regain stability. For disabled veterans, we provide adaptive housing grants to help modify homes for accessibility and independent living. For veterans battling substance use, we promote recovery and link them to drug and alcohol rehabilitation resources designed with veterans in mind. For those struggling with mental health, we connect them with suicide prevention, peer support, and long-term wellness resources.
In furtherance of our mission, Our Vets engages in advocacy, education, outreach, and partnerships with government, nonprofit, and private-sector organizations that support veterans' welfare, ensuring veterans and families can access the help they've earned and the support they deserve.
