Maine Points: Vouchers For Veterans

We speak with Susan Care from Vouchers For Veterans. The mission of Vouchers for Veterans is to show recognition and gratitude to Veterans living in New Hampshire and Maine primarily by providing them with vouchers to purchase locally grown and prepared food directly from farmers and growers at local farmers markets.

Through our partnerships with farmers markets across New Hampshire and Maine, They have given 7,150 nutritious meals to Veterans. At farmers markets, we provide Veterans a safe place to talk with and heal with other Veterans who can uniquely understand them. These bonding times, especially among combat Veterans, help in their healing continuum.
