The 2025 VEAF Memorial Day Campaign

Veterans Emergency Assistance Fund (VEAF) – Memorial Day Campaign Update

As we move further into our Memorial Day Campaign, we continue to stand by our commitment to support Orange County veterans in times of urgent need. Thanks to the generosity of our community, the Veterans Emergency Assistance Fund (VEAF) has recently provided critical support to three veteran families who were displaced from the Pacific Palisades area due to devastating fires.

These veterans, now relocated to Orange County, faced significant challenges securing stable housing. With VEAF assistance, we were able to cover essential deposits to help them move into safe, long-term housing. Each of these veterans have families totaling 12 children between them. Your support helped ensure these families not only found shelter but also took a crucial step toward long-term self-sufficiency.

Stories like these remind us of the importance of being prepared to respond in moments of crisis. Continued contributions to VEAF make it possible to meet emergency needs swiftly and compassionately. Thank you for helping us honor and support our veterans—not just on Memorial Day, but every day.

Donate today. Help us continue to serve those who served us.

We are grateful for your support.
