About Us
Veterans Serving Veterans Organization, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) not for profit Organization founded by two veterans, in 2017 by a United States Marine Corporal that served as a combat engineer attached to Second Combat Engineer Battalion, Second Marine Division Bravo Company from 1984-1988, and a United States Navy Sailor that served as a Fire Control Technician Second Class Petty Officer on the U.S.S.

We started our Foundation with one goal in mind - To dramatically improve the lives of veterans and fallen veteran's spouses and children by providing help and support through a broad range of services. Our unique approach and background in construction, sets us apart from other foundations and allows us to offer assistance in diverse areas, focusing on housing and home repairs. We also are able to assist in other ways, including jobs, food, clothing, awareness programs, and we provide other essentials as the need arises.
Our organization addresses the needs of veterans by means of volunteers, government and private grants, corporate donations, public donations, and private donations. We are also equipped to receive food, clothing, health and body items, furniture, electronics and childrens toys. We are proud to serve our veterans and their families, and dedicated to meet their ever expanding needs - ensuring they receive the support they so rightly deserve - That is our # 1 priority.
