November Newsletter

Honoring Our Veterans and Giving Thanks

Dear Coos County Veterans and Supporters,

As we enter the month of November, a time of reflection and gratitude, we at SOVO are excited to share some important events and updates with you. This month is especially significant as we honor Veterans Day and celebrate Thanksgiving.

Veterans Day – November 11th

Veterans Day is a time to honor and thank all military personnel who have and still serve in the United States Armed Forces. It’s a day to recognize the sacrifices made by our veterans and to show our appreciation for their bravery and service. We invite you all to join us in commemorating this important day.

Veterans Day Lunch Hosted by North Bend High School Culinary Class, at North Bend Highschool. Activities start at 11am, lunch is served at Noon.

We are thrilled to announce that the North Bend High School Culinary Class will be hosting a special Veterans Day lunch for our veterans. This event is a wonderful opportunity for our community to come together and enjoy a delicious meal prepared by the talented students. It’s a chance to connect, share stories, and celebrate the camaraderie that makes our veteran community so strong.

Thanksgiving – November 28th

As we move towards the end of the month, we look forward to Thanksgiving, a time to gather with loved ones and reflect on the blessings in our lives. For many veterans, the holiday season can be challenging. It’s important to remember that SOVO is here to provide support and resources to help make this time a little easier. Whether it’s through our food assistance programs or community events, we’re committed to ensuring that our veterans feel the support and gratitude they deserve.

A Hand-Up for Our Veterans

At SOVO, our mission has always been to provide support and resources to our incredible veteran community here in Coos County. With over 6,500 veterans residing in our area, we understand the unique challenges and needs that each of you faces. Our commitment is to offer a “hand-up” rather than a handout, empowering you to thrive and succeed.

Our Ongoing Initiatives

Veteran Stand Down Events: These events are designed to offer a day of camaraderie, resources, and support. From health screenings to job fairs, our Stand Down events provide a one-stop shop for the services you need.

Direct Support: Your donations enable us to offer essential support, including food, gas, and assistance with unexpected expenses. Every contribution helps us make a significant impact.

Community Engagement: We believe in the power of community. Our veteran events are an opportunity for you to connect, share experiences, and build a supportive network with fellow veterans.

How You Can Get Involved

Donate: Your generosity directly impacts the lives of veterans in need. Contributions can be applied to various areas, including direct support and event funding.

Volunteer: We are always looking for dedicated volunteers to help with our events and initiatives. Your time and effort can make a world of difference.

Spread the Word: Share our mission with your friends and family. The more people who know about our efforts, the greater our impact can be.

A Message of Resilience and Hope

We know that the journey isn’t always easy, but together we can overcome any challenge. Remember to take time for yourself, engage with your community, and reach out if you need support. At SOVO, we are here for you every step of the way.

Thank you for your service, your strength, and your commitment to our country. Let’s continue to lift each other up and make Coos County a place where veterans can thrive.
