Veterans Valor, a New Jersey nonprofit serving veterans and their families, has released a list of volunteer opportunities built around a simple idea: there is more than one way to help.
Sign up to volunteerThe organization says the most common thing it hears is that people want to get involved but are not sure where they would fit.
Volunteering with Veterans Valor does not mean one thing. Some people are hands on. Some people are connectors. Some people would rather write a check or open a door than set up a tent. All of it moves the mission forward.
Six Ways to Get Involved
01 Spread the word. Share posts, tell a neighbor, bring Veterans Valor up at church, at the gym, or at work. Awareness is the front door to everything else.
02 Make connections. An introduction to a business owner, a veteran who needs support, or a nonprofit doing similar work goes a long way.
03 Volunteer on site. Come out to events and work days. Set up, break down, greet people, and lend a hand wherever it is needed.
04 Help fundraise. Support a campaign, organize something small within a personal circle, or help the organization reach people it would not reach on its own.
05 Sponsor. Businesses and individuals can back specific projects, events, and programs directly.
06 Offer professional or leadership support. Marketing, legal, trades, finance, event planning, and mentoring are all needed. Anyone with a skill or the capacity to lead can be put to work.
Veterans Valor emphasizes that interested residents do not need to commit to a schedule or choose a role right away. The organization simply wants to know who is interested and roughly where they see themselves fitting in.
