What does a house have to do with serving New Hampshire’s veterans?

It’s a great honor to protect, and defend, your country by being a member of the armed forces. But what happens when you return home? Is anyone going to protect you? Robert Chambers is doing something about that, as the co-founder and Chairman of Project VetCare in Hanover, New Hampshire.

On the next edition of the Language of Business we’ll discuss Non-profit and Socially Responsible Entrepreneurship.

Project VetCare Chairman and co-founder Robert Chambers is an experienced entrepreneur having won two National Awards in Social Entrepreneurship, the Purpose Prize and the Manhattan Institute Award for Social Entrepreneurship and was one of four entrepreneurs invited to speak at the White House by President Obama. Robert is very creative along with being a marketing and fund raising expert. Project VetCare helps veterans all across the Upper Valley Area of New Hampshire with a multitude of issues that affect them once they return home. Their main areas of focus include emergency food/housing assistance, assistance with filing disability claims, social events for veterans, annual retreat weekends for veterans, and high school veteran symposiums.

These include understanding, navigating, and gaining access to various resources available to them and their families. Many of these individuals “fall through the cracks,” and our organization aims to ensure that no Veteran is left behind. In the past few years they have an opened a VetCare House where Dartmouth College students who are ex-vets can live for reduced fees.
