VetFuel™ Inc. is a (501-C3) non-profit agency created in 2014, with the assistance of law students from Yale Law School’s Jerome N. Frank Legal Services Organization.
The directive of VetFuel™ is simple: Offer all veterans in our area(s) of operations seamless assistance with: Mobility, Health Access, & Increased Social Determinants of Public Health, to decrease years projected life lost. We will never ask for, nor will we accept, any form of payment or consideration from a veteran or their family for this service. Veteran advocacy is a moral imperative & one we take very seriously, as we give back the safety & security to veterans, they have given to us as civilians.
