Veterans are notoriously known for being mistreated when they come back to the US mainland -- without access to jobs, their military paycheck, and often coming back with shell-shock, it's estimated that 22 veterans a day commit suicide.
GrowingVeterans.org seeks to change that by being a non-profit centered around giving veterans food and the social networks they need to return back to a normal life. From their About Page, they've:
- grown 91,000 lbs of food
- donated 26,000 lbs of food
- logged 10,804 volunteer hours
- trained 71 people using Peer Support model
- supported on average 23 people per Peer Supporter within first three months of training
Their client veterans report:
- 87% increased purpose & belonging
- 91% satisfaction in professional & skill development
- 74% improved communication skills
- 82% made new friendships
- 78% getting more physical activity
