May is Military Appreciation Month
“Our goal is to make a big impact. The smallest acts can make a difference when we add them together. So, every single person that steps up and donates is part of life-changing support for local veterans.”
In honor of Military Appreciation Month and the Memorial Day season, VOA Ohio & Indiana partnered with Old National Bank and their Military Veteran Impact Network to host a donation drive to surround local veterans with love and support.
Veterans often face many challenges when they return from service, like unemployment, poor mental health, physical injuries, and the need for safe, secure housing. If these difficulties go unaddressed, they can lead to homelessness.
We talked to our friends at Old National Bank about our shared love for veterans and why this donation drive is so important.
“We have veterans on staff who are part of the Military Veterans Impact Network, but some people just want to support the military. They want to show they’re thankful and give back in some way.
Veterans give so much of themselves when they’re at service. And a lot of times they struggle assimilating back into the world. And to be able to do something for someone that sacrificed so much is meaningful.”
