INFO@VETHUNTERS.ORG
VET HUNTERS IS A GRASS ROOTS MOVEMENT THAT
WAS STARTED BY ONE SOLDIER WHO VOWED TO
HONOR HIS FALLEN COMRADES, BY SERVING THE
LIVING AND LEAVING NO VETERAN BEHIND. SEARCH
AND RESCUE MISSIONS IN THE STREETS OF AMERICA
WERE INITIATED AND ‘VET HUNTING,” WAS BORN.
DURING V.H.P’S FIRST YEAR OF INCEPTION,
HUNDREDS OF VETERANS HAVE BEEN ASSISTED ALL
OVER THE U.S.. THE DEVELOPMENT OF EFFECTIVE
OUTREACH AND WHAT WE CALL “VETWORKING,”
WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN INTENSITY UNTIL
THE HOMELESS EPIDEMIC IS DIMINISHED AND
ULTIMATELY ENDED. THE WORDS HOMELESS AND
VETERAN SHOULD NEVER GO TOGETHER!
WHEN YOU THINK OF VET HUNTERS, THINK OF US
AS BEING LIKE “E-HARMONY” OF HOMELESSNESS.
WE CONNECT THE HOMELESS PERSON TO
RESOURCES BY BRINGING THE THEM TO WHERE THE
HOMELESS VETERAN’S LIVE! OUR OFFICE IS THE
STREETS AND ANYWHERE A HOMELESS VETERAN
MAY CALL HOME. WE TAKE THE WORD HOMELESS
AWAY FROM VETERAN THROUGH ACTION. IF THE
VETERAN LIVES UNDER A BRIDGE, YOU WILL FIND
US THERE DOING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO BRING
OUR HOMELESS HEROES, HOME! WE ARE NOT
GOVERNMENT FUNDED ALLOWING US TO MEET
THE NEEDS OF VETERANS QUICKLY. NO RED TAPE
IS HOW WE OPERATE....
V.H.P. ENCOURAGES PEOPLE TO THINK ABOUT WHAT THEY CAN DO IN THE
SERVICE TO OTHERS. NO MATTER OF YOUR LOCATION, AGE OR INCOME,
YOU HAVE SOME RESOURCE, KNOWLEDGE, OR ABILITY THAT CAN BE USED
TO HELP SOMEONE ELSE. V.H.P. REVOLVES AROUND THE IDEA THAT SOCIAL
CHANGE STARTS AT INDIVIDUAL LEVEL AND THAT HELPING EVEN ONE
PERSON CAN LEAD TO CHANGE IN AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY.
RATHER THAN TO COMPLAIN, WE ARE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THE
HOMELESS VETERAN ISSUE. WE ARE SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE WE GO BEYOND
FEEDING OUR HOMELESS BROTHERS AND SISTERS. VET HUNTERS GIVE
RESPECT, LOVE AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, HOPE. WE WILL PARTNER WITH
ANYONE ALIGNED WITH THE SAME GOALS AND OUTCOME. WE ARE THE
VET HUNTERS..... WE BELIEVE WHEN IT IS A HOMELESS VETERAN ISSUE,
IT IS AN AMERICA ISSUE, HOMELESS VETERANS ARE THE SONS AND
DAUGHTERS OF AMERICA, EVERY TIME WE PROUDLY GET TO HOUSE OUR
HOMELESS HEROES, WE HONOR ALL WHO SERVED, OUR FALLEN
WARRIORS AND THEIR FAMILIES. WE ALSO BELIEVE TO END VETERAN
HOMELESSNESS, WE MUST WORK 24 HOURS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK TILL THEY
ALL COME HOME.
WE LIVE IN A WORLD IN WHICH WE NEED TO SHARE RESPONSIBILITY. IT’S
EASY TO SAY “ITS NOT MY CHILD, NOT MY COMMUNITY, NOT MY WORLD,
NOT MY PROBLEM. THEN THERE ARE THOSE WHO SEE THE NEED AND
RESPOND. I CONSIDER THOSE PEOPLE MY HEROES. - FRED ROGERS

VET HUNTERS AWARDED 2012 KCET HEROES OF THE YEAR
VET HUNTERS HAVE BEEN USING OUR PERSONAL VEHICLES TO ACCOMPLISH OUR SEARCH AND RESCUE MISSIONS.
WE WISH OUR PERSONAL VEHICLES COULD KEEP UP WITH OUR 7 DAYS A WEEK OPERATION. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE EQUIPMENT THAT WE NEED
TO MAXIMIZE OUR EFFORTS AND MISSION OF PREVENTING AND ENDING VETERAN HOMELESSNESS. WITH VANS WE COULD TRANSPORT
VETERANS TO HOUSING, HOMELESS STAND DOWN EVENTS, APPOINTMENTS AND MUCH MORE. SINCE VET HUNTERS BRING RESOURCES AND
SUPPLIES TO WHERE THE HOMELESS VETERAN LIVE, WE COULD RUN MOBIL OPERATION’S WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITIES. HERE IS AN EXAMPLE
OF OUR WISH LIST FOR OUR SEARCH AND RESCUE EFFORTS.....
THE ARTICLES BELOW, WILL GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF HOW ALL THE DONATIONS ARE USED. HERE AT VET HUNTERS WE ARE HOMELESS STAND DOWN EVENT
EXPERTS AND ARE ALWAYS PUTTING TOGETHER MILITARY EVENTS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES WITH OUR EAST COAST TO TEAM TO KEEP RAISING
AWARENESS AND TO INCREASE OUR CORROBORATION WITH OTHERS TO KEEP PREVENTING AND ENDING VETERAN HOMELESSNESS.
