Veterans with limited mobility are among a quiet group of veterans that is need food assistance.  Jim Mann, Military and Veteran Liaison for Serving Good, explains: “There are two issues that impact veterans and their ability to seek assistance for food and necessities. Limited mobility in general is the first issue. This is the most overlooked aspect of serving veterans. Limited mobility veterans may leave home occasionally to get food, even though driving or finding transportation is difficult. While over 30% of all U.S. veterans have a service related disability, there are no statistics that show the number of veterans that are not able to easily access food and basic necessities. However, we know these veterans exist.” As a veteran that engages the community to provide assistance, Jim leads the efforts to actively seek out veterans and community members in need. Our programs to support these veterans come from understanding key issues related to our veterans and their access to food. “Pride is the second issues that often prevents veterans from reaching out. Many veterans don’t acknowledge their limitations. Getting past physical and emotional challenges to get food are the two main issues that impact even more veterans. In 2025, we are dedicating efforts toward finding limited mobility veterans,” Jim continued. The Serving Good Home Bound Veteran program actively seeks limited mobility veterans as well as veterans and veteran families in need.
