Each month we highlight the opportunities from the Volunteer Center and this month in honor of Veterans Day, we have a few ways to serve those who have served our country.
Do you like puppies? Would you be willing to raise a Hero Dog? Hero Dogs, Inc. provides independence and improved quality of life to our nation’s veterans by training and placing service dogs (“Hero Dogs”) with military veterans who became disabled while serving honorably in the United States Armed Forces. Apply to join the Board of Directors, or become a Puppy Raiser. Contact: [email protected]
Can you volunteer to write grants? Thomas Jerome House in Rockville seeks to honor the lives of those veterans who have sustained traumatic brain injuries in the name of freedom and sacrifice to America. It is a community where servicemen and veterans with traumatic brain injuries and their assistants, live together as family, respecting the dignity of the human person. Grant writers are needed now. Contact: [email protected]
Do you like kayaking or other white water sports? Team River Runner in Rockville gives active duty service members and veterans an opportunity to find health, healing, and new challenges through whitewater boating and other paddling sports. Established in 2004 by kayakers in the Washington, DC area to help active duty military personnel who were recovering at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, TRR has expanded with chapters across the country. Contact [email protected] to see how you can volunteer with the local chapter.
