It doesn't take a clinical setting to ease a veteran's loneliness. It takes a diner booth, two cups of coffee, and a shared history. We have a waitlist of Maine veterans who are looking for exactly that.

If you are a veteran with a few moments to spare, let us know.

If you're a family member who notices a loved one spending too much time alone, let us pull up a chair for them. 🇺🇸

First impressions from a new veteran volunteer after the pair had their first visit! A simple game of cribbage and conversation. 💙

Our Peer Companion Program isn't a one-way street of assistance; it's a mutual friendship. The life you change might just be your own.

There is a completely different language spoken when two veterans sit down for coffee. It's a language of shared humor, unique memories, and instant trust. That's what Vet2Vet builds. We are a bridge back to camaraderie.

🇺🇸 We're hoping to find a veteran companion for a Falmouth Navy veteran born in 1937. He enjoys hands on projects, puzzles, going for walks, and music.

A little friendship and shared conversation can mean so much. If someone comes to mind, we'd love to connect!
