Thanks to the generous donation of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) of Wisconsin and VFW Auxiliary membership, CVI could purchase a new courtesy van! The van will shuttle Veterans between the Soldiers' Home and the Zablocki Center for various appointments. Additionally, it will support CVI’s mission of providing services to Veterans enrolled in numerous VA & HUD programs offered by CVI throughout Wisconsin. CVI sincerely appreciates the VFW and Auxiliary members for their generous donations and ongoing service to our Veterans. #CVIVets #VFW #VFWAuxiliary #SupportOurVeterans #CommunitySupport #VeteranServices

On April 9th, we pause to honor the strength and sacrifice of former prisoners of war—those who endured unimaginable hardship, spending days, months, and even years in captivity. In their absence, they missed cherished milestones and quiet moments with loved ones—but they were never forgotten. Their courage reminds us of the true cost of freedom. As we reflect on their sacrifices, we reaffirm our commitment to support them, their families, and all Veterans with the same dedication they showed in serving our nation. #CVIVets #FormerPOWRecognitionDay #HonorOurPatriots #POW

📢 Please repost with your networks to help keep Veterans and their families housed before OTP funding ends on May 1st!
🚨 URGENT: 22 Veterans at risk of homelessness by May 1st! 🚨 For 13 years, CVI’s Operation Turning Point (OTP) has helped over 120 Veterans rebuild their lives through HUD-funded support. But this year, HUD unexpectedly discontinued funding—without warning, without explanation. Now, 33 Veterans, some with families, face losing their homes. We’ve secured leases for 11, but 22 heroes still face uncertainty. We refuse to let them end up on the streets. Join us in ensuring they stay housed! 💙 Help by donating or adopting a lease: https://lnkd.in/gnhxUubX 📩 Contact us at: development@cvivet.org Every contribution makes a difference. Let’s stand up for those who stood up for us! #CVIVets #SupportOurVeterans #EndHomelessness #AdoptALease

Your strength, resilience, and unwavering love keep their legacy alive.💛 As a Veteran community, we stand with you—today and always. Your sacrifice does not go unnoticed, and we are forever grateful. 💛 #CVIVets #GoldStarSpouseDay #HonorTheFallen #NeverForgotten Photo: Sonia Rogowski, Gold Star spouse, holds a framed picture of her husband, U.S. Army Staff Sgt.
