What Can I Do To Help?
We are in constant, desperate need of volunteers, especially at our thrift shop and food pantry location. We have had to add another day we cannot open to the week unfortunately because of a shortage of dependable volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering or lending a hand in some way, please reach out to us by any method most comfortable to you, whether by phone, email or Facebook messenger.

Our Mission Statement
Ground Zero Veterans Outreach Inc.
Empowering Wisconsin’s Heroes
Every day, heroes walk among us in Wisconsin. They’ve served our nation with honor, but now face battles of a different kind – homelessness, isolation, and the struggle to find purpose after service. At Ground Zero Veterans Outreach, we believe no veteran should fight these battles alone.
The Silent Crisis Among Wisconsin’s Heroes
Behind the uniform lies a person who may be struggling to find their place. Thousands of Wisconsin veterans face housing insecurity, mental health challenges, and the difficult transition to civilian life. These are the men and women who answered when America called – and now they’re calling for our help.
Our Mission: Action, Not Just Words
Ground Zero Veterans Outreach isn’t just another non-profit. We’re a movement of everyday citizens determined to provide real solutions for real needs.
Authenticity
We address immediate needs without bureaucracy
Non-judgmental Support
Every veteran deserves a fresh start
Equality
Dignity and respect for all who served
Community
Human connection heals wounds medication cannot
