America is facing a national crisis: a rise in the number of Veterans in need of our support. Now, everyone can get involved and help military veterans, men and women, who have served and sacrificed for our country, prepare for a better future. The America for Vets campaign aims to mobilize people across America to provide veterans in need with daily supplies as a part of Veterans Village of San Diego's daily life-readiness programs. 
Veterans Village of San Diego is a nationally recognized nonprofit and nongovernmental organization that specializes in prevention, intervention, treatment, aftercare and employment services for military veterans, including men and women who have recently returned from Iraq and Afghanistan. Founded in 1981 by Vietnam veterans, Veterans Village of San Diego has five locations throughout San Diego County and serves more than 2,000 veterans each year.
