Great news for Kentucky veterans! USA Cares, a national non-profit headquartered in Louisville, has received a significant grant of $2 million from the Commonwealth of Kentucky. This funding will provide vital financial assistance to veterans across the state, ensuring they receive the support they deserve.
The funding, distributed over two years, will be instrumental in expanding USA Cares’ services to pre-9/11 veterans in Kentucky. This is a major development, as previously assistance was limited to post-9/11 veterans. Additionally, the program will broaden the scope of support beyond basic needs, encompassing critical areas like emergency car repairs and veteran burial expenses.
“We are incredibly grateful to the Commonwealth of Kentucky for this investment in our veterans,” said Trace Chesser, President and CEO of USA Cares. “This grant will empower us to uphold our mission and alleviate the burdens faced by Kentucky’s veterans, ultimately helping them build a brighter future.”
