Me and a couple of friends that are vets decided to start a veterans outreach organization called Texas Veterans Outdoors. TVO is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and empowering the veteran community by building camaraderie and fellowship through participation in various outdoor activities. We do not have a staff on payroll, so every event, equipment, etc is 100% donated or acquired through donations.
Here's some areas where vets/volunteers can get involved:
Community Involvement:
•Food Bank preparation/sorting
•Neighborhood Enhancement
•Public Appearances/Speaking
•Land/Ranch Management
•Parks Cleanup
•Hospital Visitation of Vets
•Big Brother/Big Sister Mentor
•Provide Free Nutrition Awareness
Recreational Outreach:
•Camping in State/National Parks
•Hiking & Kayak Trips
•Local Adult Sports Leagues
•Participate in Holiday Parades
•BBQ Cooking Competitions
•Motorcycle Runs
•Auto Shows
•Hunting / Fishing
Entertainment/Family Events
•Theme Parks
•Sporting Events
•Concerts
•Museum Tours
•Road Trips for Food!!!
•Weekend Getaways / City Pass
•Range Days
•Hunter's Ed / CHL Courses
Membership is free, but vets are screened to ensure they are actually vets. With stolen valor on the rise, it's important that the resources we're providing is actually going to veterans.
