Organization adds the Veteran Empowerment Organization
(VEO) to
its DLH Cares Community
Outreach Program.
Atlanta, Georgia - February
19, 2013 - DLH Holdings Corp.
(NASDAQ: DLHC), a leading healthcare and logistics
services provider to the Federal Government, including the
Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs, announced today that
it is furthering its community outreach initiatives through the
addition of the Veterans Empowerment Organization (VEO) - an
Atlanta, Georgia-based non-profit - to its DLH Cares Program. The
company's first initiative with the VEO is sponsoring a homeless
veteran for rehabilitation and reintegration as part of their
Adopt-a-Vet Program.
DLH Executive Vice President, Col. John Armstrong
(US Army, RET) commented: "The VEO has an exceptional mission that
is close to our heart; their pledge to rehabilitate and reintegrate
homeless veterans back into society is a key component of our own
community outreach initiatives and is a critical issue facing
veterans today. Our commitment to Adopt-a-Vet is the first step in
our partnership with the VEO, and we look forward to many years of
support together."
Zachary Parker, President & CEO added: "It is
important to bridge the gap between our homeless veterans and the
Department of Veterans Affairs. These men and women are living on
the streets and they have no way of accessing the benefits to which
they are entitled for their service to our country. We must
help to not only meet their basic needs but also provide the
support these individuals need to become productive members of
society once again. The relationship with VEO will become an
important component of our DLH community outreach program - DLH
Cares."
Along with the VEO, DLH proudly supports other
veteran outreach organizations such as Hero Health Hire, Hope for
the Warriors®, and Operation Homefront. Additionally, DLH actively
participates in volunteer activities at its locations throughout
the U.S. and is committed to making a positive impact in their
local communities.
