"People giving get just as much out of it, if not more, than the people getting."
- Garrick Lo, DDS
Our story
In 2008, Dr. Theresa Cheng, inspired by the story of a local Iraq veteran, gravely injured by an IED, decided to provide free dental care to the spouses or moms who are caring for our Heroes.
She quickly found out that most of our veterans do not get dental care from the VA. Dr. Cheng is inspired by many dentists who stepped up to help when given the opportunity. Currently, we have close to 300 dentists, plus dozens of specialists and dental labs across the United States who have provided volunteer services to our low-income veterans.
As she gets to know the veterans, she is convinced that all services and goods in any local community can provide tremendous impact in making a difference in the lives of low-income veterans, e.g. marriage counseling, gym membership, sporting goods for healthy habits and so forth, can improve their lives. Most businesses and the local residents would like to help low-income veterans, so Everyone For Veterans (formerly serveourvets.weebly.com) is formed to connect them.

"I speak for myself that I feel not many people are able to help a veteran and sometimes we just feel like no one is there for us. This really has made me see things in a different light. Thank you for extending a helping hand." -Robert, USN
