Today, there are more than 18 million living veterans in the United States, making up roughly 6% of our country’s adult population. Countless men and women who have served our country are left with not only visible wounds, but invisible wounds as well, including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress.

This Project Heart Beat focuses on helping veterans in our communities and across the country who are facing physical, mental and emotional health problems, who are struggling with food security or who are homeless. Your students have the power to make a difference in the lives of these heroes by using their time, talent and treasure!
