On Veteran’s Day, there are plenty of ways for you to support the women and men who have risked their lives protecting the American people. From volunteering at a VA hospital to donating to one of many organizations and charities that help support our country’s veterans, there are plenty of ways to lend a hand to honor or support our country’s veterans both today and throughout the year.

Volunteer with the Department of Veteran’s AffairsMore than 140,000 people volunteer more than 11 million hours of their time each year to the Department of Veteran’s Affairs. Whether it’s heading to a VA hospital to lend a hand or providing entertainment for vets, there is no shortage of tasks that the department could use your help with.

Donate to the Veteran’s Support Foundation: The Veteran’s Support Foundation provide resources to Americans who return from war with health and mental health challenges. From battling homelessness among vets to helping to support them financially, donating this nonprofit organization is a great way to help lend a hand.

Foster a K9s for Warriors DogIf you live in certain parts of the country, you could help America’s vets by raising a puppy (yes, that’s correct). K9s for Warriors provides service and therapy dogs to veterans who have returned from combat, and raising a puppy for the program can go a long way in changing a soldier’s life.

Donate to the Wounded Warrior ProjectThe Wounded Warrior Project is one of the biggest organizations in America that supports wounded veterans. Your donation is tax-deductible, and provides important assistance to injured or disable veterans and their families.
