THEIR MISSION: Stand together and put an end to veteran suicide.

While one person may not make a difference, they believe those that band together can and will! Suicide needs to become a thing of the past! Let’s help our heroes fight the battles they can no longer fight alone!

BECOME A VOLUNTEER

The Ruyts Foundation of Veteran Suicide Prevention is completely operated with the help of volunteers. Our volunteers are the heart of the foundation. Without them, this foundation would not be what it is and what it is to be.

We are always looking for volunteers to help. We can sign off on community service hours if needed for high school, college, community service hours ordered, etc. Our volunteers will be helping with events, the clothing closet, food bank, wellness activities, doing stuff as needed, and spending time with our veterans.
