That Day Community Corner

Four years. Countless miles. First pitch video from 2023

Dozens of applications. One mission that never changed. ❤️

Four years ago, this journey began because I couldn't find the kind of safe, welcoming space I needed as a woman veteran.

I knew I couldn't be the only one.

What started as That Day Company evolved into That Day Collective and eventually became our official 501(c)(3) nonprofit, That Day Community Corner.

Along the way, we've traveled across the region and the country, attended countless networking events, explored retail and coffee concepts, submitted more than 50 grant applications, and participated in approximately 10 pitches and competitions.

We've heard “no” plenty of times. We've changed directions. We've learned. But we never stopped showing up.

And here's what those four years taught me:

People show up when they feel safe.

They share their time, talents, resources, experiences, and generosity. The problem isn't always a lack of organizations or people willing to help. Sometimes, it's that we've made connecting the two unnecessarily complicated.

When someone is overwhelmed or in crisis, they shouldn't have to navigate endless websites, confusing directions, or a maze of referrals just to find support.

That's the gap we're working to bridge.

We're bringing together the veteran and first responder communities, local businesses, volunteers, and organizations to make giving and receiving support simpler and more accessible.

And now, we've been selected as one of the TOP SIX finalists for Action Tank Philadelphia's pitch competition this Saturday! 🎉

We'll be pitching The Giving Station, our first major initiative launching January 2027.

We're starting small, starting local, and building something our community can actually use. Maybe one day this model will reach communities across the country. But first, we're focused on making it work right here at home.

This isn't our first pitch. It won't be our last. But this one represents four years of learning what our community truly needs.

We didn't spend four years building another organization just to add another name to a resource list. We spent four years learning how to connect the dots.

Because everyone deserves to feel welcome, respected, and supported.

Technology, accessibility, and a little determination!

In under three hours, I created and launched a starter website and all marketing handouts and cards for The Giving Station, an initiative of That Day Community Corner!

Thanks to AI, the skills Ive learned along the way, and the incredible free and low-cost resources available to nonprofits, I was able to bring an idea to life without a big budget.I know AI brings mixed feelings, but for me, as a disabled veteran, AI is an accessibility tool.

When my physical and cognitive limitations create barriers, technology helps me communicate, create, and keep moving forward.

Its not about replacing people. Its about removing barriers and making opportunities more accessible.

The resources are out there. Sometimes we just need to learn how to use them!

We offically applied to pitch our project we have been working on for so long.

Most of us have heard the statistic “22 veterans a day.”

But that number is outdated.

The latest VA data reports an average of 17.5 veteran su***de deaths per day. That is progress — but it is still 6,398 veterans lost to su***de in one year.

And veteran homelessness has fallen dramatically — more than 56% since 2010. Yet in 2025, more than 32,000 veterans were still experiencing homelessness on a single night.

Those numbers matter. But supporting veterans is about much more than preventing homelessness or responding to a crisis.

It's mental health. Physical health. Food. Clothing. Housing. Employment. Business development. Entrepreneurship. Creative expression. Recreation. Peer support. Family support. Community. And sometimes it's simply finding a place where you feel like you belong.

I know because I've spent years looking for those places.

I've traveled for women-veteran treatment programs and retreats. I've participated in veteran business programs, networking meetings and pitch competitions. I've served on the board of a veteran performing-arts organization. I've participated in veteran storytelling and spent three years in equine therapy right here in Bucks County.

I've kept asking questions, making connections and looking for opportunities because I wanted my independence back.

And I found incredible programs.

But I learned something else along the way:

Finding them shouldn't have been that hard.

I had access to many of these opportunities because I was relentless enough to keep searching.

Not every veteran can do that — especially when their life has just been disrupted.

There aren't too few organizations helping veterans. There are incredible organizations doing this work every day.

The problem is the space between the resource and the person who needs it.

That's the space we're building The Giving Station to help fill.

🍂 OCTOBER AWARENESS MONTH 🍂

October is an opportunity to learn about experiences that are often misunderstood, overlooked, or invisible.

📖 Dyslexia Awareness Month
Dyslexia can affect reading, writing, spelling, and processing—but it does NOT determine intelligence or potential. Accessibility can be as simple as clearer information, audio options, and extra processing time.

🧡 ADHD Awareness Month
ADHD is more than being distracted. It can affect attention, organization, time management, and executive functioning. Clear instructions, reminders, flexibility, and understanding can make a difference.
🔗 chadd.org

💜 Domestic Violence Awareness Month
Abuse isn't always visible. Supporting a survivor can mean listening, believing them, respecting their choices, and helping them connect with resources.

Awareness isn't about becoming an expert in someone else's experience. It's about learning, listening, removing barriers, and creating spaces where people feel supported.

Different needs. Different experiences. Same community.
