Our Story
We were shocked… veterans living in our community who had honorably served our country were now in situations where they were unable to afford to eat!
Some of these veterans had served in WWII and Korea, but others were younger men and women who had been involved in more recent conflicts. They all treasured their privacy, dignity, and pride, and were reluctant to ask for charity, even though they were struggling.
Our Role
HONOR VETERANS NOW (HVN) works to eliminate hunger in military veterans’ lives.
— Especially for those under the age of 60 —& because there is no other support for them while preserving their privacy, dignity, and pride.
Our broader objective is to provide nutritious meals to qualified veterans of any age who honorably served our country, for as long as their need exists. We perform this service with the support of our local community organizations as we work to secure funds to sustain this mission.
HONOR VETERANS NOW started in Texas and will expand to other states.
It is not simply an act of kindness to help these veterans: It's an honor!
Our Vision
