Looking to Help Seattle Area Veterans:
Good morning Roger and Pam,
I am a veteran who works at a nonprofit organization who does free home repairs for low income housing, seniors, people with disabilities and veterans. We started a veteran program in 2009 and looking at ways to expand our service to help more veterans in need. You can read more about our Veterans Program here… http://www.rtseattle.org/veteransprogram.php.
I came across your newsletter/website when I was at the Seattle Veterans Museum. I am looking for ways to get our program out to veterans to help more in need. We have been able to help over ten veterans this year, but I want to increase that number. I need more veterans applicants who are in need of some free home repairs. If you want to read about our organization you can click here Rebuilding Together Seattle
Please let me know if this opportunity is available or you know any other resources I can reach out to help fellow vets.
Thank you,
Jason Cummings
