In honor of National Hire a Veteran Day, we’re proud to highlight Michael's employment success story! Facing the challenges of homelessness and job searching, Michael reached out to us for help. Thanks to his determination and the support from our employment services, he found a wonderful role at a doggy daycare company! Not only does this job allow Michael to work with dogs every day, but it also gives him the joy of bringing his own pup with him to work! 🐶 At Nation’s Finest, we aim to equip Veterans with the skills and resources they need to secure meaningful employment and achieve lasting stability. Our employment services include helping Veterans find suitable job openings, assistance crafting professional resumes, and providing encouragement during the employment search process. #HireAVeteranDay #VeteranEmployer #HireVeterans #Hired #Employed #WeHireVets #DogsofIG #DogsofInstagram #Navy

Did you know that when we go to local homeless shelters and encampments to find Veterans, that we also provide them with essential hygiene kits? These kits are a small but meaningful way to bring comfort and dignity to those who have served our country while we assist them with finding transitional and permanent housing. By bringing these supplies directly to where Veterans are, we make our services more accessible to those that need them the most. #VeteranSupport #HomelessVeterans #CommunityOutreach #HygieneKits #MakingADifference #SupportOurVeterans

After renting for 35 years, #VietnamVeteran Wayne was put out by his landlord and at risk of becoming homeless at 78 years old. Wayne used all his savings to get into a new rental but then wasn't able to pay for the next month and was again at risk of homelessness. He then reached out to Nation's Finest for assistance! We enrolled him in our Supportive Services for Veteran Families program and provided #rentalassistance for homeless prevention. We then referred him to another program that will help him financially with rent for the next 2 years! Here he is now- safe & housed just as all #Veterans should be!❤️ Wayne is a fantastic artist and already has busy decorating his apartment with his paintings! #HomelessPrevention #VeteranArtist #SSVF #VeteranHousing #VietnamVet #Artist #VeteranArt #ShallowSubsidy #Veteran #HomelessServices

Thank you to the Katie Grace Foundation in #Reno for making and donating "Move In Kits" for our Veterans moving into permanent housing! The majority of #Veterans experiencing homelessness come to us with just a few bags of their most precious belongings or only the clothes on their back. This thoughtful gift makes such a big difference in making their new housing feel like home. If you would like to get involved by assisting your local Nation's Finest with move in kits, please reach out!

Nation's Finest went to HEARTS LANDING RANCH for equine therapy with #Veterans enrolled in our Veterans Support to Self-Reliance #VSSR program. 🐴 Together, they participated in a "Colorful Communications" exercise involving interaction with horses and paired partners. This trip promoted emotional well-being by spending time outdoors, interacting with animals, and improving communication skills with others. #EquineTherapy #MentalHealth #HorseRanch #Veteran #Ponies #Therapy #Sacramento #Pony #GraniteBay #Ranch #Vets #Horses

Our Nation's Finest Redding team received an urgent call requesting assistance with the #ShellyFire evacuations for pets in Siskiyou County. Our outreach specialist jumped into action by collaborating with the disaster relief services of Northern Valley Catholic Social Service - NVCSS and other local community partners to coordinate the pickup and delivery of crucial items to the pet evacuation center. This successful mission is a testament to the power of collaboration and trust within our community. We’re grateful for the opportunity to make a difference and stand united in times of need. 🙏❤️ Thank you to everyone who makes this work possible and to our partners for their faith in our ability to help. Together, we are stronger! #CommunitySupport #EmergencyResponse #SiskiyouCounty #Evacuation #TogetherWeCan #Redding #NaturalDisaster

In the digital age, how do you find housing without internet access? After falling on hard times, Paul from #SolanoCounty found himself on the streets. The #VietnamVeteran stayed resilient and came to Nations Finest with a hopeful outlook. Here's Paul with a donated computer, which he used for housing searches, budgeting, and accessing his VA benefits. Now, the #AirForce Veteran has relocated back to #FortBragg, where he is closer to family and improving his income and housing stability! Congratulations Paul, we are so proud of you! #SuccessStory #Veteran #SupportOurVeterans

#AirForceVeteran Phyllis, shared with us her story of #resilience and gratitude for the services she received from Nation's Finest. Phyllis was given a 30-day notice after being in a rental for less than 6 months. This caused a lot of stress and anxiety but all it took was one phone call to us to bring peace and get the ball rolling on finding housing! Here's Phyllis's heartfelt message about Nation's Finest and the support we provide: "Knowing someone was on my side and willing to help me is all I needed. Please accept my thanks for helping me secure funding for my security deposit and helping me stay focused and positive. I can honestly say that if it wasn't for the team at Nation's Finest and all of the support, I couldn't have done it. Life is good and teamwork makes the dream work!!" #SuccessStory #AirForce #Veteran #SupportVeterans
