Operation Outreach

Operation Outreach is a kinetic program focused on the delivery of resources, financial and otherwise to the Global War on Terror Service Members, families and Veterans. In addition, the program also assists in extraordinary issues facing prior Service Veterans.

Staff works to keep GWOT Service Members, families and Veterans up-to-date on ever evolving federal, state and local initiatives designed to make the transition back into communities and the home front as smooth as possible.

As a one-stop source of advocacy, the program functions to bring connections and resources to the families of deployed Service Members as well as returning Veterans faced with:

Operation Outreach 4
* Financial constraints due to deployment
* Transition issues facing the family
* Legal issues as a result of service commitment
* Job retraining due to deployment injury
* Education needs for Service Members or family
* Advocacy for appropriate medical care for PTSD & undiagnosed Traumatic Brain Injury
* Filling the gaps between DOD, VA and life!!!

Since the beginning of this program in 2004, Operation Outreach has resulted in the coordination of over $900,000 in financial resources to our GWOT Service Members, Veterans and their families. The program has been successful in coordinating the efforts to keep 21 homes out of foreclosure, advocating appropriate medical care for PTSD and undiagnosed Traumatic Brain Injury and continues to work to assist our financially strapped and injured Veterans – Guard and Reserve and our Injured Regular Active Duty and their families.
