Meet Sarah, our Director of Strategic Partnerships!

For the past 9 years, Sarah has been building partnerships and creating programs that connect Maine's veterans and their families with the resources and support they deserve. She enjoys solving problems, bringing people together, and finding new ways to serve those who served.

Sarah's passion for this work is deeply personal. She is the daughter of a World War II Purple Heart recipient who didn't access VA benefits until he was 82 years old because he believed someone else needed them more. Despite living with a permanent service-connected disability, he never realized the benefits he had earned were there for him.

That experience continues to inspire Sarah's message to every veteran and family member:

"If you served in the U.S. military, you've earned your state and federal benefits. It never hurts to ask a question, reach out to MBVS and learn how we can help."

Thank you, Sarah, for your dedication to Maine's veterans and their families!

September is Market Month for Vouchers for Veterans!

Throughout the month of September, Vouchers for Veterans will be at 10 different farmers markets each week across New Hampshire and Southern Maine.

Every veteran and active-duty service member is welcome to visit any participating market and receive a FREE $20 voucher to spend on fresh, locally grown foods and other related items. Our program is not based on financial need—it is simply our way of saying "Thank you for your service."

The impact goes far beyond the veterans we serve. When those vouchers are used, the farmers and market vendors redeem them with Vouchers for Veterans for their full face value. If 200 veterans receive vouchers at a market, that's $4,000 going directly into the hands of local farmers and food producers in a single day. Those farmers, in turn, spend that money in their own communities, supporting other local businesses.

It's a beautiful circle of neighbors helping neighbors—a giant circle of love that honors those who served while strengthening our local economy.

Because Vouchers for Veterans receives no state or federal funding, every voucher is made possible through the generosity of local businesses, organizations, foundations, and individuals who believe our veterans deserve this simple but meaningful "thank you."

Together, we're feeding veterans, supporting local agriculture, and investing in the communities we all call home. ❤️🇺🇸
