"I'll be able to see my children regularly, get to work, my two jobs that I work, get to work daily. I've been doing public transportation, so a car is going to benefit so much." Anthony said.

Tragically, veterans are nearly twice as likely as non-veterans to commit suicide. September is National Suicide Prevention and Awareness Month, and this week, Veterans Outreach Center is hosting events to recognize those impacted by suicide.

Introducing VOC's Chief Happiness Officers for the month of September!

This month's Chief Happiness Officers are Marketing and Communications Coordinator Will's cats, Maple and Fred!

Maple is a tuxedo cat who was living in a shed on her own when she was rescued by a vet tech in late 2021. Since then, she’s had a very happy home in Rochester, where she enjoys lying in the sun, getting pets from her humans, and drinking water from the sink.
