History of Our Organization

Veterans Outreach Program was officially established as a student organization affiliated with the University of Florida in the Spring of 2023. Our purpose is to fulfill the needs of local veterans in our local community, especially those who are homeless and struggling.

History of Those We Serve

The Department of Veterans Affairs estimates that 196,000 veterans are homeless on any given night. That is roughly 1/4 of all homeless people. At our local VA, Malcolm Randall, we serve about 20,000 veterans yearly. The Malcolm Randall VA Center is the only VA center for South Georgia and North Florida veterans.
