BROOKLYN, N.Y., July 18,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Black Veterans for Social
Justice (BVSJ), a 45-year-old nonprofit organization dedicated to
providing essential services to U.S. veterans and their families,
is grateful for Navy Federal Credit Union's philanthropic
support. The grant will support tailored solutions for our nation's
heroes through BVSJ's Veterans Everyday Campaign.
Veterans Everyday is an ongoing effort to provide essential
services and meet the needs of U.S. veterans every single day.
Understanding that every veteran's journey is unique, Veterans
Everyday is a collective effort to fundraise and implement
tailor-made solutions to ensure no veteran is left behind.
Annually, BVSJ assists thousands of veterans with a myriad of
difficulties. Unfortunately, many of these vital services are not
covered by city, state, or federal funding.
Through Navy Federal's donation, BVSJ will extend services to
veterans who are often the most vulnerable—those residing in urban
areas—by introducing additional programming, including on-site
clinical services and promoting economic empowerment through
financial literacy and technology training courses. This
collaboration not only strengthens their efforts but also showcases
the power of community and corporate partnerships in addressing the
needs of our veterans.
"We are proud to support BVSJ and its ongoing efforts to benefit
veterans and their families," said Brittani
Ivey, EVP, Real Estate Lending and Financial Opportunity at
Navy Federal. "We champion communities through nonprofit support,
which can connect us with opportunities to engage with underserved
veteran populations and share our resources with them. We are a
mission-driven organization that is always honored to support
veterans in their livelihoods and financial well-being."
"We are thrilled to partner with Navy Federal Credit Union to
expand our reach and enhance the support we provide to veterans,"
said Wendy McClinton, U.S. Army
veteran and CEO of Black Veterans for Social Justice. "As someone
who has walked the path of military service, I understand the
challenges veterans face in transitioning to civilian life. This
collaboration reconfirms our commitment to ensuring that every
veteran has the opportunity to succeed and thrive."
