ABOUT US

Veterans Supplemental Support Network (VSSN) mission is to end and prevent SUICIDE, homelessness, hunger and hardship among veterans, military and/or their family members.

 

Each VSSN chapter across the world is an alliance of concerned community members (service members, veterans, individuals, groups, nonprofits, and businesses) who leverage resources and volunteerism efforts to develop supplemental resources (hardship relief, empoyment, education, and wellness services) for Veterans, Military uniform service members and their families.
