What we do

Programs that bring veterans together.

Each SIVF program is designed around one principle: connection saves lives.

Our flagship outdoor program — boating, paddling, rowing, fishing, and expedition adventures, including the American Great Loop.

Block parties, outreach, speaking engagements, and veteran gatherings across Southern Illinois.

A future service dog community and leadership program for veterans who need a four-legged battle buddy.

Aiden's program — building the next generation of leaders and volunteer opportunities for veteran families.
