On July 25, eight Veterans on the Rise veterans attended the Fellowship & Gratitude Men's Luncheon hosted by former RSW Kavell Whitehead.

The afternoon was filled with heartfelt stories, expressions of gratitude, great food, and meaningful conversation. Around every table, respect, encouragement, and camaraderie were on full display as we honored the strength, wisdom, and service of our local veterans, community heroes, and the men who continue making a positive impact every day.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this gathering such a memorable experience. Especially, Minister Kavell Whitehead, who so graciously included VOTR.

Volunteer Spotlight: Advanced Dermatology

This past weekend, Veterans on the Rise was grateful to welcome a dedicated group of volunteers from Advanced Dermatology in Alexandria for a day of service at our facility.

The team spent the day working on several hands-on projects, including painting exterior walls and doors around the property. Their work helped refresh key areas of the campus and created a cleaner, more welcoming environment for the veterans we serve.

Volunteer projects like this play an important role in helping us maintain and improve our facilities so we can stay focused on our mission: supporting veterans as they transition to stable housing, employment, and independent living.

We are incredibly thankful to the Advanced Dermatology team for donating their time, energy, and teamwork. Support from community partners like this truly makes a difference.
