At VOA, we are committed to supporting our veterans through their highs and lows. Meet Ted, former signalman in the military turned co-owner of a successful food truck business in Florida. Transitioning back to civilian life was difficult for Ted. After losing his apartment, he turned to VOLUNTEERS OF AMERICA FLORIDA where he found supportive services, stability, and ultimately was able to revive his food truck business. Every year, VOA provides affordable housing to more than 27,000 veterans, making sure our nation’s heroes are treated with dignity. #healthycommunities4all
