Introduction of Project Veteran Outreach

Nov. 26, 2010 - PRLog -- Founded by a veteran Operation Iraqi freedom III and native of Chester,PA who became homeless as a result of his Iraq experience, Heroes Today (http://heroestoday.org) has begun its outreach to veterans in the City of Chester and surrounding seven Boroughs. This is a historical movement for the City of Chester.

Currently there are no community organizations in place that support our veterans, and, there has not been an organization in the city or surrounding seven boroughs to support veterans at this magnitude for several decades.The organization plans to aquire property to open a full service center for veterans and the families of veterans that are in distress. This outreach is in an effort to assist the Department of Veterans Affairs to meet the 5 year plan to end homelessness among veterans.

A committee has been established (Project Veteran Outreach Committee)  to aid with the efforts of identifying distressed veterans, advocating for veterans, supportting the falimilies of the veterans that are in distress, educating veterans about the various services and benefits that are available through the Department of Veteran Affairs, helping with identifying supportive organization to file claims to Department of Veteran Affairs, Peer to Peer support groups for Iraq/Afghanistan veterans, resume assistance and employment outreach for veterans connecting them to employers.
