veterans Care Program

Like many Americans, some Veterans are forced to choose between necessities like purchasing food, permanent housing or going to the doctor. Every day, countless Veterans struggle to provide adequate nutrition for themselves and their families and struggle to pay rent. We recognize that one food-insecure Veteran is one too many, and concerted efforts are being made to alleviate this crisis. Food is a social driver of health and defined by the U.S Depertment of Agriculture as a lack of consistent access to enough food for an active, healthy life, or a household level economic and social condition of a limited or uncertain access to adequate food. Food insecure individuals are more likely to have physical and mental health problems. Joseph House community Outreach Center  provides support to veterans that are unable to provide for themselves with their current income. We connect veterans to vital community resources and help to provide emergency stabilization for veterans who are in real danger of losing everything.
