EMERGENCY SERVICES
Answering the Call When Our Heroes Need Us Most
At M.A.S.H., we are unwavering in our commitment to support veterans and military families during times of crisis. Through our network of compassionate partner agencies, we provide critical referrals and coordinate emergency resources for those facing unexpected hardships.
Whether rallying community support after a house fire, replacing essential appliances, covering medical needs, or simply being there in moments of sorrow, M.A.S.H. is honored to stand in the gap when our heroes need a helping hand.
Examples of Support We've Provided:
● Gifted a mobility scooter to a Korean War veteran (double amputee); his wife received a bouquet of roses
● Restored two veteran homes in need of repair
● Sponsored an entire Christmas for a family of six—children aged 1 to 16—after the suicide of Father (an Afghanistan/Iraq veteran)
● Supplied Essential Appliances to Veterans at The Commons at Livingston. M.A.S.H. provided electric scooters for the disabled, as well as numerous appliances, including a Vitamix blender specifically designed for cancer patients who require specialized nutrition and a handful of refrigerators to store individual residents' Meals on Wheels deliveries safely. These efforts support veterans living in Section 8 housing at The Commons at Livingston, helping to improve their daily quality of life with dignity and care.
● Organized a full emergency Baby Drive for a single mother serving in the Navy
● Donated funds to support a military family impacted by an attempted suicide—22 years of Active Duty service
● Covered CDL Class A school, licensing fees, work boots, and clothing for a veteran entering the workforce
● And so much more…We do this because no veteran should ever face a crisis alone. When emergencies arise, M.A.S.H. responds with heart, hope, and action.
