ForcesUnited Launches Operation COVID Shield as 2020 11 to 11Campaign

Staff Report

Monday, September 14th, 2020

In a time of crisis, together, we are providing help on the homefront!

When the pandemic crisis began, ForcesUnited jumped into action to provide help on the homefront through Operation COVID Shield. COVID Shield is focused on providing much needed protection for veterans and their families. With a 30% increase in veterans seeking assistance with housing, utilities, transportation and employment, meeting the rising dollar amount needed to address income shortages and maintaining safe shelter has become our primary objective.

This year's 11 to 11 campaign (9/11 to 11/11-Veterans Day), Operation Covid Shield, addresses awareness in reaching those who want to help and those who need help, while replenishing revenue losses and keeping ForcesUnited advocates on the ground. Support is needed to maintain the organization's foundation that allows for their continued work with veterans and the ability to connect them to the resources they need to address basic quality of life initiatives.
