Mission United

Fighting for those who’ve fought for us.

Mission United helps North Texas veterans, active-duty military members and their families access community resources and services through three programs:

Veterans Fund

This fund supports military service members who are returning to civilian life in the Tarrant County area, with services including counseling, career and financial coaching, addiction treatment and more. United Way launched the Veterans Fund in 2013 with corporate contributions from Lockheed Martin Aeronautics and Bell. Grants are awarded annually to agencies who support the mission of this fund.

Give to the Veterans Fund

Texas Veterans Network

This innovative technology connects active military, veterans and their families to services, resources and programming, including Veteran Service Organizations (VSOs); Community-Based Organizations (CBOs); and federal, state and local government programs. The network partners with Combined Arms, a Texas-founded and Texas-operated nonprofit organization.

This program is supported by a grant from the Texas Veterans Commission Fund for Veterans’ Assistance. The Fund for Veterans’ Assistance provides grants to organizations serving veterans and their families. For more information, visit https://tvc.texas.gov/

Veteran Options Navigator Program

For those age 60 and older or with a disability, a dedicated Veterans Specialist provides case management, home visit support and outreach, and help applying for Veterans Administration financial assistance for services needed to live at home. This specialist works out of the Area Agency on Aging’s Aging and Disability Resource Center.

John’s Journey with Mission United

Our Mission United team connects veterans, active-duty military and their families with the resources they need to thrive. We were there for U.S. Army Veteran John Kirby during a low point in of his life.

Our team worked closely with John to address all his needs, including transportation and access to healthy food. John now volunteers to help veterans like himself and often refers them to Mission United.
