VETS Canada and Wounded Warriors Canada Partner to Help Homeless Vets

HALIFAX – Representatives from Wounded Warriors Canada announced today that they will partner with VETS Canada to help homeless veterans throughout Canada. In Halifax for a joint press conference, they provided VETS Canada with a cheque for $40,000 to mark the beginning of a formal partnership that will allow VETS Canada to help more homeless veterans throughout Canada.

Scott Maxwell, Executive Director for Wounded Warriors Canada stated, â€œThis partnership is representative of our organization’s mission to address gaps that exist in the care of our veterans. It’s a very proud day for Wounded Warriors.â€

Phil Ralph, National Program Director of Wounded Warriors Canada, stated how excited they are about this partnership, commenting, â€œWhile the last soldier left Afghanistan this week, the battle is far from over. We have a long term, generational responsibility to address the challenges facing our ill and injured Canadian Armed Forces members and their families, such as homelessness.â€

With funding from Wounded Warriors, Jim Lowther, President of VETS Canada, stated that his organization will be better able to find homeless vets, get them the help they need so that they can leave the streets and, over time, benefit from the other programs that Wounded Warriors supports.
