About The Charity: 
The NVHS mission is to eliminate homelessness among veterans in Central Florida. Founded in 2008, NVHS is a community based organization formed by veterans with the goal of locating and assisting homeless veterans that are currently living in our parks, woods, and streets in Central Florida. Unlike other homeless service providers, NVHS proactively goes out to find our homeless veterans where they live. Their goal is to provide basic needs to ensure survival, build rapport, and then connect them to any community organization that offers a service beneficial to them, in order to move them from homeless to housed!
Virtual Strides Partner Event: This event is part of the Virtual Strides Partners Program. Boaters Exchange will receive 100% of the net proceeds from this event after Virtual Strides’ partner costs are deducted. Proceeds will then be matched by Boaters Exchange and donated to NVHS!
