New Vet Info Video – “You Don’t Fight Alone”

A central focus of Vet Info’s mission remains suicide prevention and awareness. Leadership has been actively engaged in community outreach efforts to address the ongoing crisis, where an estimated 22 to 24 veterans lose their lives to suicide each day. As part of this initiative, Vet Info has introduced the “30 Second Challenge,” encouraging veterans and their support networks to commit to a daily check-in call of at least 30 seconds. This simple act is designed to foster connection, provide support, and create opportunities for meaningful conversations during times of need.
Vet Info remains committed to expanding its impact through programs such as Cast Off 22 and the “No Veteran Left Behind” initiative, both aimed at providing therapeutic experiences and strengthening the veteran community.

Miami Gardens – Military Monday

Join us at the Betty T. Ferguson Recreational Complex in the Birds of Paradise Room for assistance to those who have served or continue to serve.

Military Mondays is more than a program — it’s a place of connection, dignity, and care. Every Monday from 10 AM to 12 PM, veterans are invited to stop by for free hygiene supplies and to learn about vital community resources designed to support their health, stability, and well-being.

Whether it’s a small act of kindness, a listening ear, or access to life-changing assistance, Miami Gardens stands proudly with our veterans — reminding them that their service is seen, valued, and never forgotten.

If you know a veteran or military family member who could benefit from this program, please share this message and encourage them to visit us. Together, we can continue to uplift those who’ve given so much.
