Mission

Our mission is to empower and support local veterans, their families, and communities by providing services and fostering a strong sense of community. We are dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for veterans through housing assistance, benefits navigation, emergency relief, and meaningful fellowship, ensuring that no veteran or their family feels alone in their journey. 

Our History

In 2005 Commander Franklin Rutledge, after serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom, created this organization as a center of hope. Inspired by the struggles he witnessed among veterans returning home—many unaware of their benefits and left to navigate their tragic and traumatic experiences alone—Commander Rutledge dedicated himself to creating a supportive community for veterans. Today, our organization has grown to over 100 members, providing essential services and fostering a sense of fellowship to ensure no veteran faces their challenges alone. 

Services Offered

VA Benefits Assistance and Resources

Navigating VA benefits can be overwhelming. We have a strong partnership with local VA offices that allows us to provide personalized support in filing claims, securing back pay and accessing the benefits they’ve earned. Countless veterans have been successfully guided through the filing and interviewing processes, ensuring full support along the way.

Housing and Stability Programs

Our Establish Homes Program provides both prevention services and transitional housing support. From emergency financial assistance, rental and utility help, and housing counseling to safe short-term lodging and structured transitional housing, we walk with veterans toward lasting stability. Because every veteran deserves a place to call home.

Mental Health Counseling

The weight of PTSD, anxiety, depression or unspoken struggles is heavy. Far too many veterans and their families carry that burden in silence. We provide FREE, confidential counseling sessions with licensed clinical mental health professionals for veterans and their immediate family members.

Women Veterans Support Group

 Women who have served often face challenges that are unique, overlooked, or misunderstood. Our Women Veterans Support Group creates a safe, uplifting space for connection, healing, and encouragement. Led by trained professionals, these group discussions, specialized workshops, and community outings focus on trust-building, mental wellness, coping skills, and shared experiences.

Fallen Soldiers Family Support

 We take the loss of a fallen soldier very seriously. When a member passes away, we offer unwavering love and support to the soldier's family through meaningful actions such as funeral service support, flag dedication, and meal donations.

Local Community Food Bank

 Food justice is a vital aspect of community justice. We collect donations from local businesses and collaborate with food distribution services to ensure the Georgetown community has access to nutritious food from fruits and vegetables to nonperishables and fresh meat. 

Clothing & Household Lifestyle Essentials

Our hope is to improve access to better living in underserved communities. Thanks to our generous donors, gently used (and sometimes brand new) clothes, shoes, furniture, and supplies are available to those in need in our local community. 

VA Appointment Transportation

While this service depends on volunteer availability and was reduced during the COVID-19 pandemic, we have proudly offered free transportation for members to VA appointments in Charleston, Myrtle Beach and Florence.
