Organization Information
Mission Statement
Our mission is to promote, support and advocate for veterans and veteran owned businesses.
Description
We host several events throughout the year to bring awareness to our veteran owned businesses. One event is the annual VET OHIO EXPO which takes place the first week of September in honor of our military and first responder who answered the call on 911. The week before Veterans Day, we host Buy Veteran Week a campaign where we encourage the public to think, shop, buy, hire veteran. We have celebrations and visit veteran owned businesses and do live interviews that are broadcast to bring public awareness. We also participate in other events like the Columbus Stand Down that supports Veterans, and fund raisers for M.A.S.H. pantry that supports veterans, and other causes like Operation Homefront that takes care of the families of deployed soldiers.
