The state of Texas is home to more than 1.4 million Veterans, which represents the second largest state Veteran population in the country. I understand the challenges facing our men and women in uniform as they return to civilian life, and I’m proud to work with Endeavors to provide support for Veterans and their families. Endeavors has compassionately served vulnerable populations for more than 50 years with a mission of restoring dignity and offering hope to Veterans.
As Christians we’re called to extend grace and offer dignified care to those in crisis. Endeavors does just that. Founded on the belief that God calls us to love and serve all people, they offer compassionate, holistic care for vulnerable populations in our community – including physical and mental health resources.
In the aftermath of our recent experiences with disasters and emergencies, many organizations stepped up and assumed important roles. Endeavors became the largest Disaster Case Management provider in Puerto Rico working with 50 out of 78 municipalities. Their team and case managers helped us identify the immediate needs of those most impacted by Hurricane Maria while planning for long-term recovery.
We also know that military service sometimes comes at a personal cost for service members and their families. It is reassuring to know that Endeavors is there to help Veterans, regardless of the situation, to provide the services and hope needed to build better lives for them and their families.
