We do not keep food on hand, all food will be freshly provided when requested. Food assistance is approved on a case-by-case based as we understand no two situations are alike.
Other Services
The following services will have an application process that each veteran must complete to screen them for their needs of services from The Ruyts Foundation and what we can provide them with. Once approved, the following additional services are available.
Christmas Gifts
The foundation will provide stockings and presents for not only the veteran, but their family if needed.
Mental Health Appointments
Since one of the biggest reasons the mental health that is needed is not received is financially, our mental health services will make sure that the veteran is able to see their psychiatrist and therapist. We will cover the cost of the appointment so that they do not have to worry about it.
Prescriptions
A lot of veterans suffer a mental health crisis because they cannot afford their medication. Our prescription plan will have us cover the cost so that they do not have to worry about whether or not they can afford their medications.
