The National Veterans Foundation, based in Los Angeles, California, operates in the civic and social sector to support U.S. veterans and their families through crisis information and referral services. It runs what it describes as the nation’s only toll-free helpline for veterans and their families, complemented by public awareness programs and outreach that connect people to essentials such as food, clothing, transportation, and employment resources. In 2023, the foundation announced the appointment of Mario Sibrian, signaling ongoing expansion of its personnel to improve access to veteran resources. The organization uses a staff of veterans and licensed volunteer counselors to handle crisis calls and provide supports ranging from medical treatment and PTSD counseling to VA benefits advocacy and other aid, with more than 400,000 veterans served. Founded by Shad Meshad, the NVF has a history of engagement in crisis response and training, including work with government partners after the September 11 attacks.
