A group of volunteers helping our honorable discharged veterans, that need that added boost. We begin where the government ends.
Additional information
The Committee for Iraq and Afghanistan War Veterans is a non-partisan, 501c3 not-for-profit organization that was founded in 2007 to raise significant funds for returning veterans, current soldiers as well as soldiers wounded or killed in combat and their families. We strive to do this expeditiously with the bare minimum of administrative costs so that we can provide maximum assistance when urgent expenses arise related to fundamental needs such as housing, medical, transportation, and food. We prefer to work in conjunction with existing veterans organizations, but can also work directly with individuals whose needs are critical and who meet basic criteria. We especially seek to help veterans as they make the transition to civilian life. We believe the sacrifices of our military personnel should never be forgotten and we attribute our success as an organization to the fact that our community shares this belief with us.
