FOSTERING HOPE AND SUPPORTING POST TRAUMATIC GROWTH FOR VETERANS

We believe there is no better medicine than being in a community with other veterans and their families, rediscovering purpose, and serving a cause which is greater than ourselves.

EMPOWERING VETERANS

ETS (Every Third Saturday) exists to assist Veterans in finding new purpose after military service. Our mission focuses on fostering hope and supporting post-traumatic growth for Veterans. Watch this video to find out more about our story, the services we offer, and the ways we’re helping Veterans every day.

ETS Fire Teams

No Veteran Fights Alone.

ETS Fire Teams bring veterans together in small, trusted groups built around connection, camaraderie, and showing up for one another. They’re a way to rebuild the kind of bond many veterans miss after service and create a network of support before life reaches a crisis point.

​

Whether you’re looking for connection or ready to be part of someone else’s support system, there’s a place for you on a Fire Team.
