Making a Difference by Being the Difference

Being united in the service to veterans during their time of need makes a difference by being the difference in serving their immediate care needs, lifting them from despair, renewing their spirits knowing they have not been forgotten, and assisting them to be self-reliant again.

United in making every act of kindness matter

Single Act of Kindness Resolution campaign

As the United Relief Foundation continues to make a meaningful difference in the lives of veterans in need through various acts of kindness, we encourage everyone to include at least one act of kindness to support a local veteran organization in their resolutions for 2025.

In addition to encouraging others to support their local veterans’ organizations, the United Relief Foundation’s Single Act of Kindness Resolution campaign will focus on the most vulnerable veterans who lack the financial or physical means to travel for the help they need.
