Veterans Helping Veterans

Community-Centric Support in Maryland

Our Veterans Helping Veterans program supports veterans and their spouses through shared service, care programs, volunteer opportunities, and social engagement. Built on our unique model of Neighbors Helping Neighbors, our Veterans Helping Veterans program empowers older adults to experience independence, dignity, and camaraderie in community. 

A Community That Honors and Supports Veterans

Many veterans face aging alone, without nearby family or a strong support network. That’s where Veterans Helping Veterans comes in.

Through this unique community-based program, Partners In Care Maryland, Inc. helps veterans remain in their homes by matching them with services like transportation, home handyman repairs, and friendly visits. Our team visits each veteran to assess their needs—or learn how they’d like to give back. Some are retired mechanics or handymen. Others simply want to offer a listening ear and friendly voice. Whether they need support or want to serve others through our unique volunteer opportunities, veterans over 60 can participate in our service exchange model and bank time for the future.

Looking for Veteran Volunteer Opportunities Right Here in Maryland?

If you’re a veteran looking to serve again in a meaningful way, we have a place for you. From driving other members to appointments, to helping with small home repairs, our volunteer program for veterans is rewarding and impactful. 

You’ll meet fellow veterans, stay engaged in your community, and know your support is making a real difference. Plus, if you’re a member of PIC yourself, you’ll be banking time you can use later if your own needs change.
