Our
mission is to provide humanitarian services to returned military
veterans who are neglected, hungry, and/or homeless in Georgia. VEO is designed to provide a wide range of services,
including food, shelter, housing, rehabilitation, counseling,
and referral to veterans organizations such as the
Veterans Administration (VA), the Veterans Administration
Special Housing (VASH) unit, Health Care for Homeless Veterans
(HCHV), and Health Care for re-Entry Veterans (HCRV).
What you can do
Any
contribution you can make will help us to alleviate the problem.
Remember, we are dealing with those who have nothing – here even
a little goes a long way. For less than $1 per day, you can help
a returned veteran recover from the disaster of homelessness,
someone who served in the military with honor and probably
suffers from the aftereffects of traumatic stress and at least
partially disabling war wounds. As a “Friend of Veterans” and
Veterans Circle member, your gift will go toward breaking
someone’s “free fall” and ultimately toward supplying whatever
resources are necessary for full recovery of both mind and body,
enabling that person to again become a productive member of
Society. Another way to look at it is that your contribution
will cover a small but important part of the cost of helping
many homeless veterans recover.

Membership in VEO
is easier than you think . . . and it’s safe!
Once you
decide to become a member and wish to give, you may either
contact us by e-mail, or use our website that is securely linked
(https) for financial transactions. This assures that any and
all information exchanged with us is completely confidential and
thus unable to be viewed by anyone else on the web. Then
automatically each month, the amount you choose to pledge will
be deducted from the account you designate and will appear on
your monthly financial statement. In the event that your account
has insufficient funds to cover your pledge, we will notify you
by letter that no transfer of funds occurred. If you wish to
change the amount of your monthly pledge or withdraw your
membership, simply let us know in writing and we will make the
necessary adjustments with no questions asked.
Within
12 months, after joining, we will send you confirmation of your
status as a member of The Veterans Empowerment Organization, an
official membership certificate that specifies the Level (e.g.,
Associate) that you have chosen, and a stylish VEO T-shirt that
expresses the solidarity of our organization and the pride of
our members.

What are the Real
Rewards of Membership?
As with everything else in life, it is the intangible rewards
that rank the highest. It is not simply the there are people out
there who need our help and who are where they are often through
no fault of their own. The desperate condition of so many of the
people on our streets, including thousands of returned veterans
from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, reflects the condition of
our Society as a whole, All of Us. By helping them, we also help
our Society and thus – indirectly – ourselves. If we see
ourselves truly, we will know that in the agonized faces of the
poor and homeless we see a neglected aspect of our Society and
thus of ourselves. In the end, it is simply a matter of doing
what is Right. If enough of us pitch in and help to solve this
problem, even if we as individuals can give only a
little, we can solve this problem. It is not a matter of
throwing money at anything, but of bringing Love, compassion,
and human decency to bear, to whatever extent we are capable.
At the same time, we at Veterans Empowerment Organization know
that the solution to this problem also requires dedication and
hard work. We are realists who are trained and experienced in
this line of work, we know the ropes and we are in it for the
stretch. We know that the great force behind us is the many
contributors whose support makes our work possible, people like
yourself who are willing to give what you can to right the
wrongs and redress the problems that we see in our world. But we
also know that there must be some objective measure of the
success of our work. Therefore, as a tangible yardstick of
progress, beginning in 2009 we will issue annual reports to all
our members - including information on how and where funds have
been spent, data concerning our impact on the problem in the
Atlanta area in particular, and success stories which show the
paths followed by veterans in their progress from homelessness
to – at last – home. With your help, VEO’s envisioned site
and apartment-units can be rehabilitated and brought up to the City
Code standard. A place in Georgia, were you and I know these
returned military veterans who are neglected, hungry, and/or
homeless can call their own. Upon the completion of the
building, you will simply call us to schedule a tour with a VEO
representative.
We
earnestly hope that you will be part of the success story of The
Veterans Empowerment Organization of Georgia, Inc.....Thank you
and continue to be blessed.
