Soldiers’ Angels has been chosen as our 2021 NAPEO Gives Back charity partner for this year’s annual conference and marketplace. The mission of Soldiers' Angels is to provide aid, comfort, and resources to the military, veterans, and their families. The organization represents a global network of volunteers who support veterans, but our efforts will support Soldiers’ Angels veteran support program at the Veterans Affairs (VA) facilities in San Antonio. 

Each year more than 60,000 veterans seek treatment at the VA hospitals and rehab facilities in San Antonio. Of those, about 85% are low income or homeless vets. Veterans often try to schedule multiple VA appointments in one day to save on transportation costs, as most depend on public transit to get around. With very limited income, eating a meal in the VA Cafeteria (or Canteen) is typically a luxury they simply cannot afford. Soldiers’ Angels provides Canteen Gift Cards to veterans who cannot otherwise afford to eat in the VA cafeteria. This gift of a hot meal makes all the difference in what can otherwise be very difficult days for these heroes.

It’s our goal to raise $75,000, enough money to fund those Canteen Gift Cards for one full year, feeding more than 11,000 vets as they pass through the VA hospital system in San Antonio. Please help us fill the gaps not covered by other programs and bring this much-needed gift to those who have served our country. 

It’s an ambitious goal, but we know that NAPEO members are ready to step up.
