From the Victory for Veterans Memorial Ride to the National Guard Golf Outing and partnership with Habitat for Humanity to creates homes for veterans, there are dozens of events Mrvan hosts and/or attends that support veteran’s causes.

“We asked the ultimate sacrifice of them — that the members of our military would put everything on the line to defend our life and liberty,” Ttrustee Adrian Santos said. “The least we can do is  provide the support they need to get back to their lives. Our wounded veterans, including those with unseen wounds, need a helping hand and we, at the township, do everything we can to help.”

Rapid response teams are stepping in to stabilize veterans and their families suffering the aftermath of a war that, for them, never ends.

VOLUNTEERS WANTED: North Township is looking for volunteers to assist in stabilization efforts. We need professionals who can address veteran homelessness, legal issues, education and employment as well as volunteers who can help with groceries, clothing, tutoring and other activities that are part of daily life.
