WHC is fortunate to have board directors who not only attend monthly meetings, but are also active participants in helping to operate and manage our local non-profit organization.
Today, we have a diverse board with a wide range of business skills and experience. This team has made major accomplishments in assisting with the needs of veterans and their families in our community.
WHC incorporated into a non-profit 501 (c) (3) charity in 2014, focusing exclusively on Collier County veterans after three years raising money for a national veterans charity. Three of the original five board members are still with us: Dale Mullin, MarieElena Mullin, and Anthony Petretta.
Our board worked to rewrite our vision and mission statement, which helped move us from a single-focused charity with annual revenues of approximately $200,000 a year to annually raising more than $2 million for veterans and their families for housing, mental health and education support.
We are committed to ensuring that no veteran is left behind in Collier County.
