Corporate partnership can be more than a logo on a sponsorship table.

It can fund one specific service-dog placement for one veteran: supporting the training, careful matching, and follow-up support that help create greater independence, confidence, and hope.

This is what your company’s support can change: one veteran, one service dog, one life-changing connection.

Connect-Vets welcomes corporate partners who want to stand behind a real placement and see the difference their generosity makes. No tier table. No abstract promise. A direct investment in a veteran’s next chapter.

Our Veterans Day community event is 9 DAYS AWAY!

10 DAYS OUT! 🇺🇸

We are incredibly grateful to the local businesses and generous supporters donating raffle items for our Veterans Day Gathering. Your kindness gives everyone another reason to show up, take part, and support Veterans in our community.

The raffle happens only at the event on Saturday, November 7, at 11:00 AM at Black Draft Distillery, 2878 Dry Run Rd, Martinsburg, WV 25403.

Every ticket helps Connect-Vets provide direct support for Veterans facing food insecurity, PTSD, TBI, and the challenges of reintegration. This is community in action, and every act helps a hero.

Please join us, bring a friend, and help make a difference. You can also support the mission with a one-time donation, start a monthly recurring donation, or make a corporate contribution. Every gift goes toward direct projects in the field.

Many veteran families struggle to afford food, even when they are working. A steady paycheck doesn't always meet basic needs.

Most households in West Virginia can qualify for SNAP food assistance with a gross income up to 200% of the federal poverty level. For a family of 4, that means a gross income up to $66,000 per year can still qualify for SNAP in West Virginia.

But here is the gap many veterans face: even when working and doing everything right, many veteran families earn too much to qualify for SNAP, and still don't have enough to cover the rising cost of food and basic living expenses. Hardworking veterans, still struggling.

When traditional food assistance programs aren't an option, Connect-Vets steps in. Our Food Insecurity Program provides groceries and essential food support to veterans and their families in financial hardship: groceries for veteran families, support during hard times, bridging the gap when others can't, and community support that makes it possible.

You can help feed a veteran family today with a one-time donation or a monthly recurring donation: https://tinyurl.com/VetHelpToday. Local businesses can become a sponsor, and volunteers can get involved to help us fundraise and make a bigger impact.

Every Act Helps a Hero.

This is the first time we’re asking for hands, not money. ❤️🇺🇸

Veterans Day is only 11 days away, and we need volunteers lined up now for our gathering on Saturday, November 7, 2026, at 11:00 AM at Black Draft Distillery, 2878 Dry Run Rd, Martinsburg, WV 25403.

We need helping hands at the event, and volunteers for upcoming food drives and veteran meal deliveries. No donation is required to volunteer. There is a place for you in this mission.

Please mark yourself as going here: https://www.facebook.com/share/1DCGskgjVb/

If you can’t volunteer, you can still help with a one-time donation or start a monthly recurring gift. Corporate partners are welcome, too. Every Act Helps a Hero.

Being over the SNAP income line does not mean a veteran family is okay. Most veterans who do not qualify still need help.

In Berkeley County, West Virginia, a family of four must generally earn no more than about $3,483 a month in gross income to qualify for SNAP. West Virginia also uses broader eligibility rules, raising the effective gross monthly income limit for a family of four to about $5,359 a month.

Now consider a family of four bringing in around $5,600 a month. They may be turned down on paper, but after rent, utilities, transportation, and childcare, there may not be enough left for groceries. Being over the income line does not remove the pressure.

Berkeley County is home to about 9,150 Veterans. The food insecurity rate in Berkeley County is about 12.1%. Berkeley County has about 5,907 SNAP households, roughly an 11.6% participation rate.

That is the gap Connect-Vets helps fill through meal deliveries and food drives. Support that reaches families when the official line does not tell the whole story.

You can help with a one-time donation or become a monthly recurring donor. Local businesses can sponsor a delivery or host a food drive. Veterans looking for additional resources can use our directory.
