Fort Worth is home to thousands of veterans who have bravely served our country, yet many of them face a harsh reality after returning home. Issues such as homelessness, gaps in VA healthcare, and the struggles of PTSD and TBI leave many veterans without the support they need.
At Drive Change, we are committed to helping these heroes regain their footing through direct financial support to local charities focused on housing, mental health resources, employment assistance, and transit services. Your vehicle donation will fund essential programs aimed at bridging these gaps, ensuring that our veterans receive the services they deserve.
The local need in Fort Worth
In Fort Worth, veterans are disproportionately affected by homelessness. It’s estimated that thousands of veterans in our city are without stable housing, while many more are struggling to navigate the complexities of VA healthcare. Neighborhoods like East Fort Worth and the Historic Stockyards have seen significant challenges in providing adequate support for these heroes. Additionally, PTSD and TBI continue to affect countless veterans, making mental health support critical. These issues demand immediate attention and community action.
