Round Up for Veterans

Your change can change everything for a veteran family.

When you round up your total at Dave's Hot Chicken, those extra cents go directly to veterans and military families facing a financial crisis.

Here's where your round-up goes.

USA Cares provides emergency financial grants. Not loans. We serve post-9/11 veterans, service members, and their families. We pay landlords directly to stop evictions. We pay utility companies to keep the lights on. We pay creditors before a family loses their car or their stability.

Financial instability is one of the primary risk factors contributing to veteran suicide. When a family is held together financially, they have a foundation to rebuild from. That's what your round-up makes possible.

The impact of your gift

Every dollar has a purpose.

$10

Covers urgent essentials like groceries, gas, or a phone bill that help a veteran family stay stable in a moment of crisis.

$50

Keeps food on the table so a veteran family doesn't have to choose between meals and paying another urgent bill.

$75

Helps cover medical costs like prescriptions or co-pays so a veteran doesn't have to delay care during a difficult time.

$100

Prevents a utility shutoff and keeps a veteran family safe with running water, heat, and electricity when it matters most.

About USA Cares

We've been doing this since 2003.

USA Cares is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to providing financial assistance and post-service skills training to post-9/11 veterans, active-duty service members, and their families. Through our Military Assistance Response Program (MARP), we deliver emergency grants paid directly to landlords, utility providers, and creditors — stopping eviction, shutoffs, and repossession before they escalate into a larger crisis.

We believe that stability is the foundation for everything else — and that every veteran family deserves the dignity of a stable home.
