Galilee Veterans Support Program

About Us

Our story, our mission, and the team serving veterans and their families.

About

Rooted in the community we serve.

The Galilee Veterans Support Program extends that work to veterans, servicemembers, and their families, in partnership with the National Association for Black Veterans (NABVETS, Inc.) and led by Ora Crutchfield, Founder, Program Manager Director NABVETS Chapter 96 — VSP.
