About R&DA Military Assistance Program:
Founded in 2007, the Military Assistance Program (MAP) provides monetary and direct assistance to injured U.S. military service members and their families.
When a family first hears of a loved one being injured, shock soon gives way to anxious anticipation of looming challenges. Practical and urgent necessities demand immediate attention. Obvious needs are continued payment of bills like health insurance, groceries, gasoline, mortgage and utilities. Less obvious needs might include things like stopping daily mail deliveries to hurriedly packing for travel to a bed-ridden loved one hundreds of miles away.
MAP comes to the rescue for our service members and families by providing enormous outpourings of monetary and other life-sustaining support throughout the rehabilitative process and beyond, including transportation, meals, mentoring, employment assistance and much more. Visit their website.
VET CHURCH is a safe place of hope and support for veterans and their family members who desire healing, wholeness and restoration from moral injuries, traumatic stressors, the fog of war and the misalignments of life. It is a Christ centered, grace focused, church without walls where everyone is valued, none are judged, and the primary ethos is unconditional positive regard. Vet Church is a relationship that focuses on music. Music is important to God and it is important to us. We believe that music helps cast out demons, enhance lives, and brings people closer to Christ. Vet Church is a virtual community of faith. It is a lighthouse of hope, spirituality, and security. We embrace seekers, primarily veterans and their family members. We lean forward, faithfully focusing on the image of God in every individual with whom we providentially interact.
Guitars 4 Vets is a 501(c)3 non-profit dedicated to providing relief to struggling veterans through the healing power of music and community Over the past twelve years, our organization has refined a guitar instruction program aimed at providing Veterans struggling with physical injuries, PTSD, and other emotional distress a unique therapeutic alternative. G4V pursues its mission to share the healing power of music by providing free guitar instruction, a new acoustic guitar and a guitar accessory kit in a structured program run by volunteers, primarily through the Department of Veterans Affairs facilities and community-based medical centers.
Rock4Vets is an annual event featuring a 5k run/walk and live music! The funds raised through this event enable us to offer immediate assistance to local veterans in need, such as housing support, healthcare services, and essential supplies. Your contributions directly enhance the lives of those who have made significant sacrifices.
