There is an excellent non-profit that began operating in late 2008 that is very complementary to the mission and goals of CareForTheTroops
Veteran´s Heart Georgia fosters the healing of veterans of all wars by attending to the spiritual and emotional needs of veterans, their families and our communities.
We urge you to link to their web site and take advantage of their training and support activities. CareForTheTroops is inclusive and believe that by working together we can best support the returning veterans and their extended family members.
Congregation Directory
Introduction
A key aspect of the CareForTheTroops Initiative is building a support structure for military members, veterans, and their family members in each and every community. Congregations and congregation based programs are essential to geting this accomplished. Building Military Ministries in each Congregation is our goal.
Below is a list of Congregations that have signed up to build Military Ministies. Each is a Veteran Friendly Congregation (VFC) and some have taken on the role as a Lead Congregation. Please refer to the highlighted links to learn more about VFC and Lead Congregations.
