“Central Valley Veterans has been great support to me. I have turned to my CVV family when I couldn’t see my way. My friends at Central Valley Veterans have been open and honest with me. They’ve helped me in becoming the person I am today.” |
“I want to express my sincerest gratitude for your very generous help yet again. Your generosity and “shining armor” is more than my rescue in a time of need, it is life changing and also an investment in me. The shelter plus care program through the V.A. and H.U.D. as well as C.V.V has made the past 2 years for me a time of healing, personal growth and development towards self sufficiency and a bright future. It is no exaggeration to say that it has saved my life and opened up tremendous potential for my future. Quite a long ways from the state of my life and health 2 years ago!! I want you to understand how your “above and beyond” help and kindness has impacted me this past few years and is yet again saving the day! I will never forget and intend in whatever way I can, pay it forward to you and Central Valley Vets someday in the near future.”

“Central Valley Vets has played many vital and important roles in my family’s life. They helped us move and provided my children and I beds and other household furniture, as well as taking us grocery shopping for our new place. They have also helped with our holiday meals and presents for my children as well as paying half of our rent one month. CVV has given us hope as well as giving me the confidence to get back in the workforce. I don’t know how I would have done it without them.” Jennifer J. U.S. Army Veteran
