Why give to BVSJ

Since April 18, 1979, Black Veterans for Social Justice has helped veterans and their families find housing, build careers, and get mental health support, and has brought the community together through events and campaigns that honor those who served. We serve all veterans regardless of race, gender, or discharge status, and the communities they call home.
