Give an Hour® Heightens Support for Veterans and Communities in Response to Recent Tragedies
Give an Hour®’s mission is to develop national networks of volunteer professionals capable of responding to both acute and chronic conditions that arise within our society. Since 2005 we have focused on providing free and confidential mental health care to those who serve, our veterans, and their families. We have since expanded our efforts to address the mental health needs of other populations. Through the generosity, compassion, and expertise of Give an Hour’s skilled volunteers, we are able to increase the likelihood that those in need receive the support and care they deserve.
We are proud to announce that Give an Hour® has received a 4-Star Rating from Charity Navigator and the 2019 Platinum Seal of Transparency from Guidestar! Attaining these ratings indicates that Give an Hour exceeds industry standards and outperforms most nonprofits in our area of focus. These are exceptional designations from Charity Navigator and Guidestar that sets Give an Hour apart from its peers and demonstrates to the public its trustworthiness.
Will you answer the call to serve?
We invite all mental health professionals to give the gifts of time and expertise to help those in need.
