Volunteers of America is a staple in Fremont County. Everyone knows the Center of Hope and what it does for the community. The food boxes they provided for those in need during the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic was widely shared in the media. What you don’t know is if you are a veteran in crisis, they can give you the help you need!
Economic hard times hurt many Americans, especially right now, but for men and women who have served in the US military, economic hardship may lead to additional challenges. Our servicemen and women, after multiple tours of duty, some suffering from post-traumatic stress from combat tours, are not easily employed. They face homelessness or imminent homelessness.
