THE VETERANS MUSEUM AT PATRIOT PARK HOSTS A FUNDRAISER FOR HOMELESS VETS
THE VETERANS MUSEUM AT PATRIOT PARK AND DR. KARLA M. KORNEGAY, MBA CONTINUE TO RAISE MONEY FOR DISADVANTAGED AND HOMELESS VETERANS
About this event
Being homeless, or being at risk of homelessness, is one of the most difficult problems any Veteran can face. In its 2017 Annual Homeless Assessment report to Congress, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development reported that just over 40,000 Veterans were experiencing homelessness (including those living on the street or in a shelter, temporary safe haven, or any place unfit to reside in) on a given night in January 2017.
Of those Veterans, 91 percent were men and 9 percent were women. That number stands in comparison to a total population of more than 18.5 million living Veterans. These numbers represent a 45 percent decline in Veteran homelessness between the years 2009–2017.
This travesty of justice must be solved once and for all!!
The Veterans Museum at Patriot Park and Dr. Karla M. Kornegay, MBA will be hosting a fundraiser to help homeless vets and those in need in Charles County, MD and the surrounding areas.
All monetary donations for this fundraiser can be mailed to:
