Christian Organizations Helping Veterans
Those who served deserve real support. If you are a veteran in crisis, the Veterans Crisis Line is there any time. For housing, benefits, and daily needs, the VA and 211 can connect you, and Christian organizations such as The Salvation Army and Samaritan’s Purse come alongside veterans and their families with practical care and community.

You carried what most will never know, and you are not alone with it now. If you would like someone to pray with you, or just to listen, you are welcome to reach out.
You are not carrying this alone
Whatever help you find, and we hope you find real help, you are also welcome to something the organizations above cannot give: a friend who has borne every burden. Jesus said, ‘Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.’ You do not have to believe anything first, or pray a certain way, or clean yourself up. You can simply come, tell him the truth, and ask. If you would like someone to pray with you, ours is here.
