📊 Why This Matters

Many Low Country veterans are in need of food and other basic essentials. There are about 2,500 veterans living below the poverty line in Charleston, and one out of every five Low Country residents getting food at local food banks is a veteran. Further, over 11% of veterans, from ages 18 to 64, report food insecurity: that’s more than twice the rate for non-veterans. Recently, these problems have worsened for our veterans, as government programs have been cut and inflation has risen.

Many local veterans also need support for their mental well-being. Multiple deployments and other stresses of military service have left many veterans with invisible wounds: injuries to their mental health. The rate of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among soldiers is nearly 15 times higher than the rate for civilians. For veterans currently leaving military service, it is estimated that:

  • PTSD Symptoms: 30% have, or will have, PTSD symptoms.
  • Brain Injury: 20% suffered a traumatic brain injury.
  • Substance Dependence: 10% have an addiction to substances.
  • Suicide Rates: About 22 veterans commit suicide a day, and nearly three quarters are not under VA care.

❤️ Join Us

This Veterans Day 5k event will help Low Country veterans who need -- and deserve -- our support. Proceeds will go to organizations that provide direct support to veterans in the Low Country. The event will also provide moral support: it sends a message to veterans that Charleston cares for, values, and honors them.

To learn more about supporting veterans at risk, mental health, and assessing the risk of suicide, please join us in this meaningful event.

If you have any questions or concerns about the 5k, please feel free to call Lisa Deaton at 843-224-7878.
