Soldier On is a non-profit organization governed by a full-time CEO/president and a volunteer board of directors. We work in partnership with the Department of Veterans Affairs and other agencies to provide veterans with both shelter and support within an environment that offers dignity, integrity and, most of all, hope. At our core, Soldier On is about integrity: The integrity of veteran residents, the integrity of staff, and the integrity of our commitment to work tirelessly to improve the lives of veterans in the community at large. We assist veterans with both picking up the pieces of their lives and filling in the gaps that public agencies do not address.
