Oakland County Veterans’ Services, in partnership with Oakland Thrive, has launched the “Be a Hero, Support a Hero” campaign, calling on businesses, organizations and individuals to financially stand beside those who have served in the United States armed forces.
To donate, visit www.oaklandthrive.org/SupportAHero or call 248-858-8016. Every dollar will go directly to support veterans’ transportation, resource fairs and food distribution events.
“As grant funding for veterans’ programs is getting cut, this is the time to come together as a community to ensure our Oakland County veterans are supported, provided resources and treated with the dignity and respect they deserve,” said County Executive David Coulter. “With community support, we can ensure no veteran in Oakland County goes hungry or struggles to access the resources they’ve earned.”
Local businesses and major corporations can also make a difference through sponsorship opportunities ranging from $10,000 to $50,000 for digital billboards, newspaper, and streaming advertisements, radio or event engagement.
Oakland County Veterans’ Services made a significant impact on the lives of local veterans in 2024:
• Hosting seven veterans resource fairs which connected more than 2,500 attendees to earned benefits
• Distributing more than $242,000 in Meijer food cards and 2,500 food boxes
• Providing 10,000-plus free rides for medical appointments, family visits and essential errands
• Holding five large-scale food distribution events, serving 2,000 veterans facing food insecurity
