Veterans need more than Thank you, they need our help.

Do you want to…

  • Combat the rising rates of Veteran Suicides?

  • Build a bridge of hope and connection to Veterans in Rural places?

  • Honor Veterans Day by working for Peace?

Here’s how!

Support Veterans by:
Donating a Waging Peace Bookclub-in-A-Bag to a library that offers a story of healing after combat and how to find your place in a community after coming home from war.

Connection is the antidote to despair.

  • Help Veterans connect to those in their community by giving them a book that starts the conversation they are aching to have + brings others into what it’s like to go to war, to come back home and wrestle with how to live after.

  • 2/3rds of Veterans who committed suicide were not connected to the VA. Rural veterans and those who live in the 5 states with the highest rate of veterans deserve a story of hope and healing. We need to go to where they are at.

  • Representation Matters. Having a story that is relatable instead of a blockbuster film means supporting Storytellers who center the rarely talked about and uncommon experience that Veterans are living through.

How do i take action?

  • Donate $100 to give a Bookclub in a bag to the library of your choice or choose to send it to a rural Library in one of the five states with the most veterans serving : Alaska, Montana, Virginia, Wyoming, and Maine.

  • Donate any amount to go towards filling a whole Bookclub in a Bag.

  • Donate in Memorial of your loved one or Veteran. A bookplate will have your loved ones name.

What is a bookclub-in-A bag?

  • 10 copies of the book Waging Peace: One Soldiers Story of Putting Love First.

  • Information about the book and author

  • Discussion questions
