Make Camo Your Cause Campaign Helps Prevent and End Veteran Homelessness Crisis

FOX Corporation is once again partnering with USVETS for “Make Camo Your Cause,” a national campaign to end veteran homelessness in the United States.

Only 7 percent of the U.S. population is veterans, but veterans make up nearly 13 percent of the adult homeless population, according to the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans.

USVETS is dedicated to the successful transition of military to veterans and their families by providing housing, counseling, career development and comprehensive support. They accomplish this mission through the Make Camo Your Cause campaign.

Sponsored by Fox Corporation and City National Bank, Make Camo Your Cause engages Americans to show appreciation for veterans and raise awareness and critical funds toward the successful transition of veterans and their families.

Donations can be made via the FOX-USVETS website here.

As the campaign name suggests, Make Camo Your Cause does this by encouraging Americans to shop, wear and share camo, or camo, prints on Veterans DayNovember 11. Camo is the official symbol of Make Camo Your Cause.

Americans can purchase items with camouflage print through USVETS online store. Proceeds from every item sold will be donated to support the USVETS mission.

When wearing their camouflage on Veterans Day, Americans are encouraged to share a photo of themselves wearing their camouflage on social media and use the hashtag #HONORUSVETS.

This year, USVETS is launching “Camo Club,” an opportunity for Americans to pledge a monthly donation to USVETS. In doing so, Camo Club participants receive special updates, online store perks, and the satisfaction of directly impacting the veterans served by USVETS.

FOX Corporation, the parent company of FOX Weather, encourages everyone to support this mission by donating to Make Camo Your Cause Campaign Website or by scanning the QR code below.

By donating or wearing camouflage on Veterans Day, Americans can help end veteran homelessness.

According to USVETS, “veterans” and “homeless” should never be in the same sentence, and yet men and women who have bravely served our country find themselves sleeping on the streets they beaten to protect.

“USVETS has helped tens of thousands of homeless veterans find a place to call home. We are grateful to our supporters who allow us to provide housing, psychiatric care health support, career programs and comprehensive services that help veterans regain their dignity and self-esteem,” said Steve Peck, CEO of USVETS. Peck also served as a Navy officer in Vietnam.
