They say a picture paints a thousand words. Here are some priceless pictures to help you visualize the impact a few hours can make in the lives of so many. New friendships were formed and lives will be changed.

What a great time of support to our Military community was had on March 18, 2023. Yes, we have already had one post of gratitude to our volunteers and the organizations involved in the event, however, we did not have all the pictures available until now. Once again, we want to thank the volunteers. This event would not have been possible without your time and service to this project. The difference you made is long lasting and far reaching!

If you are a Veteran or National Guard/Reserve member of the United States military, or somebody who supports Veterans regardless of military status, please consider joining the Veterans Employee Resource Group (ERG), please contact Paul Dumouchelle, paul.dumouchelle@osumc.edu.

For nearly twenty years, Military Veterans Resource Center (MVRC) has helped veterans regain the self-reliance, independence, and self-confidence they felt as a service member.

We recognize that the transition from military service to civilian life often is difficult. Our goal is to help veterans identify and overcome the barriers that are holding them back from the life they want.

In partnership with Besa, the Office of Community and Civic Engagement at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center created an employee volunteer program to help advance the mission of improving the overall health and well-being of the communities it serves. Currently, the pilot is working with Ohio State East Hospital, Outpatient Care East and Outpatient Care New Albany. The Besa portal allows employees to view current projects, sign up with colleagues, request engagement and team-building projects for teams, and give back. Together, we can improve lives and amplify a culture of community engagement. Sign up for an account here today!
