Feed Our Vets, Utica,NY, is a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization whose mission is to help Veterans in the United States, their spouses and children whose circumstances have left them on the battlefield of hunger, and to involve the public in fighting Veteran hunger. We do this through:
– Community food pantries that provide regular, free food distributions to veterans and their families
– Distribution of related goods and services – Public education and outreach
More than 130,000 Veterans are homeless and hungry on any given night in America. One in three homeless people in America is a U.S. Military Veteran. And nearly three million Veterans and their families don’t have enough to eat each month. We provide food for veterans throughout the US.
Feed Our Vets local solution is to establish Feed Our Vets Food Pantries in cities and towns across the United States. Some of the food and groceries are purchased by Feed Our Vets, but most of thefood for veterans is donated by local food manufacturers and grocery stores. Feed Our Vets pantries distribute free food and groceries at regular, scheduled times to U.S. Military Veterans in need and their families. We strive to provide healthy food for veterans in need.
We need your support because our nation’s military Veterans have served and sacrificed for our freedom. Many are returning from war to a weak economy, and struggling with injuries, both physical and mental. Too many Veterans are ending up jobless and homeless. Too many are going hungry. We believe it is our duty to give back to these men and women who have given so much for our country.
