Veterans Golf Park for Disabled Veterans
Public records show a registered, tax-exempt organization in good standing.
What it says it does
Our program is dedicated to supporting the emotional and physiological well-being of military service members through the assembly of camaraderie. By creating a safe space for veterans to decompress and connect with others who share similar experiences we aim to address the challenges of PTSD depression and loneliness often associated with disabilities and life after service. Our daily midday meals cater to up to 150 veterans five days a week offering not only sustenance but also a sense of community. Furthermore our facility hosts a range of recreational activities and entertainment to enhance the overall experience. We work closely with the Department of Veterans Affairs providing onsite representatives to assist veterans in navigating and accessing their entitled benefits ensuring they receive the support they deserve.
