What can my organization do…...1) Reach out to local organizations in your area who serve military
and veterans to inquire about possibilities for coordination between your organization and theirs on how you might possibly provide your resources and services to members of the Armed Forces
2) Find out what services and resources they provide that might be beneficial should you have a military/veteran audience enter your facility for services.
