Mission

To connect community with veterans in need

What it reported doing in 2025

During the 2025 calendar year, helping every veteran in need (hevin) provided direct support services that bridge critical gaps between veterans and available community resources in cowlitz county. A total of 113 veterans received individualized assistance addressing essential needs, including housing support such as rent assistance, security deposits, utilities, application fees, and home repairs; transportation support including vehicle repairs, tires, insurance, licensing fees, fuel and one donated vehicle; as well as household items, groceries, medications, phone bills, wheelchair ramps, pet food, and support related to health, wellness, and fellowship. In addition to direct assistance, hevin served 260 veterans through our annual vetsgiving dinner, supported 140 veterans at the cowlitz county veterans stand down, and provided christmas gifts to 82 children of veterans.

Operating model

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
