Veteran events · Community tables · Partner presence
We come to where veterans already are.
Rural veterans do not browse websites looking for benefits. They hear it at church, at the Legion hall, at the parish fair, from a deputy, or from a spouse at the Council on Aging. So that is where we go.
Our rule for every event
A sign-up sheet is not outreach. Partners come in person, so a veteran can be helped on the spot.
Services at the table
Medical, dental, mental health, legal, housing, and utility assistance — represented by people who can answer a question the same day.
Intake, not a leaflet
Assessment and enrollment happen at the table. A veteran leaves connected to a named person, not added to a mailing list.
The referral closes
Every hand-off is tracked to an outcome through VI-PAR™. We report what actually happened, not how many people signed in.
Where we show up
Six channels, worked continuously across the eight-parish footprint.
| Channel | What it is | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| Veteran service networks | State service officers, American Legion posts, veteran-serving nonprofits, VA clinics | The veterans are already there. We co-locate rather than compete. |
| Parish & community fairs | Vendor tables at established parish events | Highest reach per dollar. One table kit covers a whole season. |
| Faith communities | Churches, pastors, faith-based service organizations | Weekly attendance, a trusted voice, and a parking lot for the unit. |
| Schools & school boards | Veterans Day programs and district community events | Districts already convene families every year. We join what exists. |
| Local government | Parish governing bodies, clerks of court, sheriffs' offices | Public counters where veterans identify themselves voluntarily. |
| Football & community life | Games, festivals, rural community gatherings | Where the parish actually gathers, at the time it gathers. |

We bring the service providers that match what your community needs on the day.
We bring the kit
