Veteran Rickey McClung was referred to Veterans Helping Veterans USA by an employee of the Salvation Army. He was provided assistance with food, utility bills, and medical/dental services at reduced cost.
“Vets Helping Vets is a team of people who help vets and their families in their time of need. Without this help, some of us could have given up.”

Veteran Craig Crump was referred to Veterans Helping Veterans USA by a fellow veteran in 2010. He received food, gas cards, financial assistance, and counseling.
"Vets Helping Vets has been a great help to me and my quality of life as a struggling, honorably discharged veteran. They've supported all of my efforts to become self-sufficient. I would have been homeless, in the streets strung out on alcohol and/or drugs, or probably dead in the gutter. They've been a very important part of my life here in Ocala from the start. People to talk to. Help with any need. Encouraging when on the right track. Just a wonderful resource for veterans who are willing to help themselves; just need a helping hand to do it.”

"Veterans Helping Veterans took good care of me. I think more people should use this organization because they definitely do the job. They helped me when I got behind on my rent and my electricity. If they didn't help me, I would have been in the street. I appreciate my case manager for all of her help and I appreciate Vets Helping Vets very much."

Peachrich McLemore heard about Veterans Helping Veterans USA on the Internet. Tragically, the family lost everything in a fire. VHV provided them with food, furniture, clothing, bedding, and toiletries. Their two boys received a bed so they wouldn’t have to sleep on the floor.
“Vets Helping Vets gave us love and kindness. Hope and faith that everything will get better. Compassion and understanding. Thank you so very much for reassuring our family that there are still people that care about us veterans and our families. Great Job!”

"After being referred to Veterans Helping Veterans USA by the Volunteers of America staff, I received help with food pantry and financial assistance with utility bill. Without that, I would have been hungry and would have been in the dark.”
