January Fundraising Success
Thanks to our generous donors, we raised an incredible $61,876 in January! With this milestone, we have already reached 72% of our fiscal year goal—a testament to the dedication and support of those who believe in our mission. Every contribution, no matter the size, plays a crucial role in ensuring that Virginia’s veterans receive the support they deserve. Your generosity truly makes a difference.

Your Donations in Action
VSF funds were used to prevent the eviction and homelessness of a veteran, his spouse, and their young children. Both the veteran and spouse were between jobs with delayed start dates, leading to a short-term financial constraint. Thanks to the support provided, they were able to stay in their home. Both are now re-employed and will easily self-sustain.

This is just one example of how donations to the Virginia Veterans Services Foundation can change lives. Your support doesn’t just provide financial assistance—it offers stability, hope, and a fresh start for veterans and their families in need. A single donation can be the difference between crisis and security, between despair and a new beginning. Thank you for making this impact possible.
