Essential Goods
We collect and distribute cost reducing critical goods to military women and women veteran families. Providing essential housing and baby items such as cribs, car seats, diapers, wipes, and formula allows our families to reallocate their earnings to housing and utilities.
Our warehouse distribution offsets the cost of critical items for our women veterans facing financial difficulty. These items allow our veterans to reallocate their earnings to housing, childcare, and other essential costs allowing them to regain financial self-sufficiency. Our in-kind program affords recovery from financial setbacks and enhances women veteran economic well-being.
At A Journey of Hope Outreach for Women Veterans, Inc., we are committed to providing comprehensive and tailored support to empower women veterans and help them build successful, fulfilling lives. For more information on any of our programs or to get involved, please contact us today.
