*****

I've made it a priority in 2016 to do some more volunteer work and get involved. Naturally, as a Vet, I'd like to help out with other Vets and even the wounded warriors. I'm here in San Antonio and have donated to the

Fisher House and am leaning towards them in some capacity. What I really want to do is help wounded warriors in an athletic capacity... used to be a personal trainer and play Ultimate Frisbee and was wanting to put something together later on down the line to help the wounded with either free training or organizing/teaching Ultimate games.

Just looking for advice or guidance from anyone on here that knows of any good opportunities. I know a coworker and fellow poster (AdamAg) does Team RWB stuff but due to my nature (read: introvert) I think asking for donations/fundraising is probably my least favorite thing of all time. I'd like to do something such as the aforementioned activities or just something else not fundraising related (cleaning houses, organizing, whatever).

Thanks!

Try reaching out to a local Vfw.

The mission continues is a veteran service group.

Try the Center for the Intrepid as well.

I'll throw out a plug for our org... www.oathinc.org.

Not to speak ill of other orgs, but unlike some large, well known, highly marketed national organizations, we are 100% volunteer driven and 100% of funds go back to our veterans.

Also, check out the hunt my family and I hosted this year (our second consecutive year...)
