SITREP
WHAT'S NEW? Atrium Health is looking for volunteers to help at their Covid vaccination distribution sites. If you are interested in volunteering through VBH, please fill out this form so we can reach out to you with more information!
WEEK AT A GLANCE This week we have our Open House, Wednesday Workout at Veterans Park in Charlotte, and the virtual Veterans Lunch!
ICYMI We are hiring! Check out our special newsletter that went out last week with our current job openings!
STAT OF THE WEEK Did you know that approximately 1 in 8 US families face food insecurity? And the rate is even higher among Veteran Families. You can find more resources on access to healthy food here.
VETERAN SPOTLIGHT
Our Veteran Spotlight this week is our newest team member, Starr Peña-Johnson. Starr served in the U.S. Air Force for eight years as a nuclear security officer, with duty stations in Wyoming, Delaware, and deployment to Kuwait in support of the War on Terrorism. She received the War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal as well as the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal. As part of a voluntary temporary duty, Starr traveled the world as an expeditionary entertainer with a troupe of airmen, performing for troops and their families CONUS and overseas. Now she is the Community Engagement and Advocacy Manager for VBH!

This is a new section that introduces Veterans in the community. In honor of Black History Month, we will be highlighting Black Veterans each week of February. Send us suggestions for who we should highlight next week.
EVENT HIGHLIGHT The Veteran Lunch is this Wednesday! We will be playing VBH trivia with a chance to win some free swag! This is a great way to get to know our organization and network with other Veterans all over the Carolina's!
