North Carolina is home to more than 736,000 veterans, approximately 10 percent of the states total population. Veterans are a historically underserved population, with many suffering from untreated conditions that can contribute to homelessness, including mental and physical infirmities, substance use disorders, and the frailties of age and disability. As a result, an estimated 800 veterans are homeless on any given night of the year in North Carolina.

VOA Chesapeake & Carolinas is committed to ensuring that those who served our country are valued and can live their lives with the dignity and independence they deserve. Our North Carolina-based programs are designed to fill the gap in supportive services for veterans and their families. Our programs offer a wide variety of services, including transitional housing, individualized case management, housing location assistance and stabilization, and workforce development.

Due COVID-19, our most vulnerable veterans need us now more than ever. As part of our Four Star BBQ event, we invite you to help us protect our nation's heroes during this challenging time by giving today!
