Contrary to popular belief, there is a real and ongoing challenge to meet the needs of our disabled military veterans. A growing number of these veterans and their families are struggling to remain independent, and many have already fallen into our homeless population. No one is more aware of this critical issue than Master Sergeant (Retired) Patricia Baisden, CEO of Southern Crescent Veteran Services, Inc.

No stranger to the plight of so many military veterans, Baisden recalls her own father, a veteran, and his struggles with adequate housing and homelessness. “These memories inspired me to do all I can do to help other veterans from enduring the same fate,” says Baisden. Veterans have served the country in every imaginable situation all over the world. They have come home with visible and invisible wounds that will be with them for the rest of their lives. These men and women who have given their best to protect this country deserve the best in return, but so many times they are underserved or ignored.

Southern Crescent Veterans Services, Inc. and Master Sergeant (Ret) Baisden are a perfect match for one another. The mission, “Provide supportive services for the welfare of Veterans”. A simple statement, but very complex requiring many moving parts to be effective.   Southern Crescent Veteran Services, Inc. partners with other local nonprofits to assist with an array of services to help veterans in need of assistance. Services include providing housing assistance, employment assistance to veterans and family members, assisting with employment-related services, and many issues related to the Veterans Administration.

In addition to reaching out to other nonprofit donors, Southern Crescent Veterans Services, Inc. invites anyone with a generous heart and a desire to help veterans in need with clothing or other comfort items, as well as temporary lodging and cash donations, to contact the organization as it is much appreciated. In nearly every case, veterans are never looking for a handout but a hand-up.
