I was born into a military family; both parents served.
I started this 501(c)(3) to serve homeless veterans after reading an article Homeless Veterans sleeping in tents in the winter time all over Ohio. I purchased my first multi-unit in 2012, then in 2018 coordinated with The HUD/VASH Program and started placing veterans in the units. In Sep 2022, I purchased fourteen acres in Champaign County, Woodstock, Ohio, to build 14 tiny homes, 12 regular, 2 adaptable, laundry, and a year-round greenhouse, complete with everything the veterans will need on day one.
" I am honored to be a voice for homeless veterans."
Michael Warren
Vice Chairman/Director of Operations
michael.warren@preparedveteranconsulting.com
An Air Force Veteran with ten years active-duty experience, still living by the core values of "integrity first, service before self and excellence in all we do". Upon fulfilling my obligation to the military, I took on leadership roles as a civilian within various contracting companies before finishing my Master of Business Administration program (Grantham University). Afterwards, I started my own business, Prepared Veterans Consulting, which aids in disability applications, civilian transitions, resume writing/reviews and job placement; works with various recruiters seeking veterans. Works on a daily basis with men and women who have served, while being a husband to a veteran, a brother to a veteran and a father whose children may answer the call to arms one day.
I see 501(c)(3) as a great opportunity to be a steward to the military community as it hits very close to home. Not everyone can leave a legacy saying they've saved and changed lives for the better. I am thankful to be a part of Support Our Veterans Corp which enables me to do so.
Loretta Dillon
Office Administrator/ Advocate for Homeless Veterans
An Army veteran ( Active duty) 1982-1986, ( Reserves) 1986-1988, whose path led to Support Our Veterans Co (SOVC), after I've witnessed a lot of suffering within the military community with little support while being involved with mental health counselors at times. I found myself saddened by the treatment towards active duty and veterans when it came to their quality of life. I wanted a change for me, and my brothers and sisters in arms. Wanting to be part of that change, I've searched for places that I could be of help. The opportunity came when I moved to Columbus, Ohio from Youngstown, Ohio, becoming a part of SOVC.
My favorite part about volunteering is witnessing...
"HEALING THROUGH SERVICE,"
the warrior's guidebook to overcome trauma.
