Stand with the people we serve.
Every dollar funds a positive change in a veteran's life. Every volunteer hour multiplies the work of our small team. Here's how to help.
Tax-deductible. Mission-direct.
FOR is a 501(c)(3) non-profit (EIN 27-3752391). Every dollar you contribute is tax-deductible and goes directly into the work — the case-management hours, the residential beds, and the certification courses that move a veteran from crisis to stability.
- $50 – Two ride passes to job interviews
- $150 – A week of trade-school course materials
- $500 – One veteran's certification fee
- $1,500 – One month of residential support
Checks payable to Focused Outreach Richmond, Inc., mailed to 400 Commerce Road, Richmond, VA 23224.
Skills, time, presence.
Our most-needed volunteer roles change month to month, but here's where consistent help moves the needle:
- Resume and interview coaching for IVTP participants
- Computer-literacy instructors and tutors
- Drivers for medical, court, and employment appointments
- Trade professionals willing to host facility tours
- Mentors with lived experience (veterans, reentry)
- Pro-bono legal and tax-preparation support
Big and small, recurring or one-time.
