VETLIFE

Veterans frequently face challenges that can feel isolating, especially during the transition to civilian life. The need for connection and understanding is essential. Every experience at Vet Fest serves as a reminder that we are not alone-that a supportive community is here for us. If you're a veteran seeking connection and empathy, we invite you to reach out. Join a family that honors your story. Together, we can navigate both the struggles and triumphs of our journeys. To learn more and to get involved, please visit: https://lnkd.in/gWfFNR67

At VETLIFE, we believe in honoring every veteran’s journey and making their dreams a reality, no matter the circumstances. Recently, we had the privilege of helping a fellow veteran diagnosed with terminal cancer fulfill one of his lifelong dreams—attending a Detroit Lions game. 🦁🏈 In the face of his challenges, this veteran reminded us all of the power of hope, resilience, and the importance of coming together as a community. For him, this wasn’t just a game; it was a moment to celebrate life, connect with his family, and feel the love and support of the community around him. This is what VETLIFE is all about. We are family, and when one of us dreams, we all rally to make it happen. Together, we can create memories that bring light to even the darkest times. Let’s continue lifting each other up—because no veteran faces their journey alone. 👊 #VETLIFE #FamilyFirst #LionsPride #VeteransHelpingVeterans #Community Detroit Lions LitFinancial CUMULUS MEDIA

Today, VETLIFE gave away 400 Thanksgiving baskets to veteran families in Washtenaw and Livingston counties. These baskets weren’t just about providing a meal to veteran families —they were about showing gratitude, sharing kindness, and ensuring no veteran goes without this holiday season. To the veteran families: thank you for your sacrifices and your service. You are the heart of everything we do. 💙 And to the volunteers and community partners who made this possible—your generosity and hard work are what turn missions like this into reality. Thank you for braving the rain and snow today. Together, we’re creating a lasting impact in the veteran community. Happy Thanksgiving to all! 🇺🇸🦃 #HarvestForHeroes #VETLIFE #VeteranSupport #ThanksgivingGratitude #ZeroHungerZeroWaste #LivintheVETLIFE Kroger Enbridge

Dear Veterans, You are LOVED!!!! ❤️ Each year, through our Harvest for Heroes program, we partner with a different school district to bring heartfelt messages to veterans. Teachers and staff members have students create cards or letters to veterans as a part of their Veterans Day lesson plan. Following Veterans Day, VETLIFE collects these letters and includes them in Thanksgiving baskets for veteran families. This year, Fowlerville Community Schools amazed us with their incredible participation, with students from Kindergarten through 12th grade contributing thoughtful cards and letters. We can’t wait to share these with you and hope they bring a smile to your face this holiday season. 🥰🇺🇸

Joshua and Cortnie Parish, founders of VETLIFE, were honored to participate in the first-ever national summit addressing the critical topic of medication’s role in veteran suicides.

Joshua spoke openly about his personal journey, offering insights into the struggles veterans face and how VETLIFE is actively working to provide a healthier living for veterans today.
