Veteran Owned Business

I believe Grown Man Shave should be added here as well
 
Hey all. I love to support veterans any chance I get and that includes where I spend my money. Below is a list of veteran owned shave businesses for those also interested in supporting them. I'm not associated with any of them and don't stand to gain anything from this. Just want to share. Feel free to add any other veteran owned shave businesses that I missed.

I am not a veteran but that is correct, we have supported a veteran charity in our home town for many years. Allow me...

The Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans has a real impact for those who defended our nation that find themselves homeless. It provides temporary housing and then bring in occupational therapists, substance abuse counselors, life skills advisors, etc. The goal is to get them back on their feet so they can be productive and have a sense of worth.

The housing is "stair-stepped." The first step is free and immediate housing with the emphasis on temporary. This is limited to a few months until they land a job. The second step is moving into subsidized housing that the organization owns. Each vet rents a room and pays a modest amount in rent. There is a community kitchen and community bath for the residents. My understanding is that they are able to stay there as long as they wish. Nearly all save up their money and then take the third step and get their own apartment.

All of this - from homeless to successfully employed with their own apartment - usually takes place in one year. Remarkable!
