We fund education and certification programs which help homeless veterans build their resume, their brain and their self-confidence which can translate to jobs they need now. In the future, they can then continue to grow into high-end food service operations. We help them get out of that "rabbit hole" they are in, and recognize that they CAN learn and grow and be a key part of society like they were in the military. VSN owner, Edward Manley, will be teaching these classes in 2025 at U. S. Vets in Las Vegas. Contact us to be included in those classes.
Hiring screening is done by computers, then HR generalists, looking at resumes. We pay to add 9 certifications to their resume, and 8 days of training including restaurant management, food safety, HACCP, customer service, beverage management and more. Our partnership with the Foodservice Institute provides a lasting solution to a recurring problem of homelessness in America.
The Robert Irvine Foundation has adopted the Enlisted Aide Award starting in 2024, after 21 years created and managed by Edward Manley, but we still have more to do with homeless veterans and more.
Vet Support Network is dedicated to our mission of addressing the needs of homeless veterans. We do this by teaching them the necessary skills to improve their situation. We offer an eight-day training and certification program in food service, and since 2003, we have helped more than 4,000 students. We've taught at the White House, Camp David, the residence of the Vice President, the Pentagon, and even Afghanistan and Iraq. Our reach expands across the globe, helping to ensure that our military, both veterans and active duty, get the training they need to come home to the opportunities they fight to protect.
Vet Support Network needs your support to continue, however, and our fundraising efforts continue to focus on supporting homeless veterans with the help of individuals, companies, and corporate sponsors who are interested in sharing contributions for homeless veterans.
