I worked at Veterans Inc - lots of shady stuff going. #1 Lack of legit homeless vets. Where’s the money going?

I called to volunteer for thanksgiving, because as a veteran, this is the first year I've been, because alone my daughter and granddaughter had to move to Florida for work. Unfortunately the person that answered the phone was as cold as ice. I had to ask him 3 times is this a recording, because his tone was so bland and robotic. I wasn't being sarcastic, I honestly couldn't tell if it was a real person. I've done a bunch of 5k races for Veterans Inc., but if this is how they actually help veterans; I've done my last race with them.

I dont know why Vincent Perrone and Denis Leary decided to shift focus from actually caring about veterans to program expansion and profits. As a disabled Veteran with a medically required Service-dog(Marley-Doo) I never imagined being discriminated agianst due to a disability. Imagine the horror and trauma of being neglected and rejected from your veteran family when your biological family moved away or died ? Alone during the holidays and struggling not to become another statistic to suicide, crime and homelessness....shame on them.

They have been there to help both myself and my wife who are both veterans. It is great organiation and they hold the standdown in June which coordinates volunteers and companies who support veterans into one of the greatest days of the year. We are both eternally grateful for their support.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

What clothing for men do you want/need at this time?

Kathie Metzger | Sep 3, 2018
Scott Liptak | Sep 3, 2018

Hi Kathie! We could use anything at any given time. Please be aware that we have a women's shelter too. I suspect that with the weather warming a bit, coats could be on the lighter side of Siberian wear. Honestly any donation will get to the proper hands. Footwear, pants, shirts and so forth would be greatly appreciated. Be sure to fill out a form we have at the front desk for a tax write-off. Thanks for your generosity. Best, Scott L.

If we stop by with a donation of winter coats our family no longer wears, would you accept them?

jean gove | Sep 3, 2018
Scott Liptak | Sep 3, 2018

Yes, even out of season clothing. This organization will find it a home. Thanks for your question! Best, Scott

I have a relative who recently passed away. we would like to donate his clothing and his furniture to your organization since his father was a WWII Veteran. We also have a car to donate. Would you be able to pick up in Worcester?

Holly Ventura | Mar 6, 2022

Call first. Not sure if they are taking donations yet.

Where is the women's vet shelter located Vets thank you for your service God bless anerica

Michele Stjacques | Sep 3, 2018
Shirley Mullen | Sep 2, 2020

There are two within the city of Worcester but you would have to contact vets inc for more information. I believe they are more discreet about disclosing addresses of female vet centers/housing

Does the Worcester location accept furniture donations? I have a sofa, loveseat and ottoman for donation. It is older but in good condition. Nothing is torn smoke free home with hypoallergenic dog and it is covered with a year old couch covers.

I don't...think...so!

Why would you charge someone who is homeless $200 to stay there?

Paul Giro | Sep 2, 2021
erik admissions | May 5, 2022

Most housing programs like this have the same fee structure because funding doesn't cover all of the services. Clients are charged no more than 30% of their adjusted income and no more than $200, so it will always be reasonable and affordable, even if you have zero income.

A person who receives a dishonorable discharge is not a veteran and therefore does NOT qualify for any VA benefits!!!!

Hi, my name is Thanh. I was wondering if you guys had a soup kitchen and if you guys were looking for some help. I wanted to donate some of my time and I have several years of Culinary experience. If not can you point me in the right direction.

Mr & Mrs Sharp | Sep 3, 2019

Thanks. If i wrote something up with a description of what is being donated with the date, would someone be able to sign it? That should be sufficient in case I need it.

69 grove st Worcester thanks

are donations accepted during the weekend?? thank you for your service my fellow vets!!

chris duvall | Sep 3, 2018
P B | Sep 3, 2018

Chris, your donations are always welcome anytime. Everything goes to the donation room, especially clothing items, shampoo, body wash, soap etc.. clothing items need to be sorted and cleaned before allowing them any further into the facility. They need to keep the residents safe and the bugs out. The small room is just a weekend holding area. Thank you for considering a donation!!!!

What you need help with?

I'm currently living out of my truck and at this late stage of the month am pretty much broke. Does this organization have beds available? It would not have to be long term, just until April 3'rd when I get my disability check. Thank you Michael

Michael Yunkelo | Sep 3, 2018
Scott Liptak | Sep 3, 2018

Mr. Sarver, DD-214 and you will be taken care of. Now don't expect the "Titanic", more like the "USS Constitution". The building is quite an old ironside with a seasonal temperament. Best, Scott
