Dress to Impress (a partnership with local retailers)
VetNet food program
Small Business Referral Program to help vets start and own their own businesses
VetNet Education Center (ultimate goal)
The veteran unemployment rate in the valley is 11% We can assist with lowering this number if we could engage employers and the unemployed to use these services to improve their overall health and mental wellbeing. The Job Fair will address the financial position of our vets and the Small Business Referral Program will help veterans become business owners. The Pets for Vets and the Dress for Success programs will focus on mental well-being while the Dental Program will improve their physical condition. Our ultimate goal is to build the VetNet Education Center here in Fresno California.
To reach our mission, the Veterans Network (VetNet) seeks to expand on our innovative partnership. We look forward to exploring the possibilities with you.
