National Veterans and Military Families Month
November marks National Veterans and Military Families Month and Veterans Day—a time to recognize the service, dedication, and sacrifices of those who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. It’s an opportunity to reflect on their impact, honor their commitment, and support the communities they’re part of. At Deed, we encourage social impact leaders to acknowledge veterans’ contributions, share helpful resources, and create space for appreciation and connection.
Operation Homefront
Operation Homefront's works to build strong, stable, and secure military families so they can thrive in their communities, not just get by. It works to ensure these families can overcome short-term difficulties and prevent them from turning into long-term struggles.
Veterans Yoga Project
Veterans Yoga Project (VYP) works to support recovery and resilience among veterans, military families, and communities through the teaching of mindful resilience skills. VYP provides free yoga classes, healing retreats, and training for yoga teachers and healthcare professionals to help with physical and psychological challenges like PTSD, pain, anxiety, and depression.
K9s for Warriors
K9s for Warriors works to end veteran suicide by rescuing and training shelter dogs to be paired with military veterans suffering from PTSD, traumatic brain injury, and/or military sexual trauma. The organization aims to return veterans to a life of dignity and independence through this free service.
Operation Gratitude
Operation Gratitude works to honor service members, veterans, first responders and their families through expressions of gratitude and care packages. Volunteers can participate in assembling, packing and sending care packages; writing letters of thanks; supporting seasonal or special campaigns for deployed troops or veterans.
Soldiers Angel Foundation
Soldiers Angel Foundation works to provide aid, comfort and resources to deployed service members, veterans of all eras, their caregivers and military families. Volunteers can work in person or virtually to send care packages, write letters/cards to deployed or veteran service members, food assistance distributions, and create “blessing boxes.”
