💙 Thank You, Robertson Ryan Charitable Foundation! 💙

At the Wisconsin Homeless Veterans Initiative, we know that meaningful change happens because of incredible community partners like the Robertson Ryan Charitable Foundation.

Thanks to their generous support, we've been able to purchase a new van, a new building sign, and new graphics and wraps for both our van and our large delivery truck ultimately helping us better serve veterans throughout our community. They also stepped up as the presenting sponsor of our very first WHVI Golf Outing, helping make the event a tremendous success.

With contributions totaling more than $25,000, the Robertson Ryan Charitable Foundation has made a lasting investment in our mission and in the lives of the veterans and families we serve.

From all of us at WHVI, thank you for believing in our mission and helping us continue to provide hope, stability, and a path toward independence for those who have served our country.

Together, we don't leave our wounded behind. 🇺🇸❤️

⛳🇺🇸 A Heartfelt Thank You to Metro Ci**rs! 🇺🇸⛳

We are incredibly grateful to Metro Ci**rs for choosing the Wisconsin Homeless Veterans Initiative (WHVI) as the beneficiary of their 23rd Annual Golf Outing for Homeless Veterans.

Thanks to the generosity of everyone involved, the event raised an amazing $8,000 to help support veterans on their journey toward stability, independence, and hope.

We would also like to extend a special thank you to Brian Casey for his incredibly generous $3,000 donation. Your kindness and commitment to serving those who served our country will have a lasting impact on the veterans we are privileged to assist.

Your support helps us continue our mission of ensuring that no veteran is left behind.

From all of us at WHVI...thank you, Metro Ci**rs, Brian Casey, the event sponsors, golfers, and everyone who made this incredible day possible! ❤️🇺🇸

Another need we're hoping our amazing community can help us with... 🐾❤️

WHVI is currently in need of pet donations, including cat and dog food (wet & dry), pet treats, grooming supplies, and potty pads. Your generosity helps ensure veterans can continue caring for the companions who have never left their side.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps bring peace of mind to a veteran and reminds them they are not alone.

Thank you for continuing to support our mission. Together, we don't leave our wounded behind. 🇺🇸🐶🐱

Something as simple as a toothbrush, deodorant, or body wash can restore confidence, dignity, and hope.

WHVI is currently in need of hygiene donations, including deodorant, razors, shaving cream, toothpaste, body wash, mouthwash, body wipes, lotion, Q-tips, and other everyday essentials. While these items may seem small, they can make a meaningful difference for veterans facing difficult times.

Your generosity helps remind those who served that they are seen, valued, and never forgotten.

Together, we don't leave our wounded behind. 🇺🇸❤️

👕 Clothing Needs

A clean shirt. A sturdy pair of shoes. A fresh start.

The right clothing can help a veteran walk into a job interview with confidence, stay warm during difficult seasons, and take the next step toward rebuilding their life.

We're currently seeking men's shoes (all sizes) and men's clothing in sizes 2XL–4XL.

Thank you for helping us restore hope, one veteran at a time.

At WHVI, we don't leave our wounded behind. 🇺🇸❤️
