“Our mission," said Sandy Mitchell, executive director, "is to help Veterans and their families during difficult times. We cover the seven northern counties and moving to the southern counties, assisting Veterans in getting their lives back together.”
Mitchell is also the founder of Project Help and knows only too well the aftermath of war. She was married to a Vietnam Vet and has a special place in her heart for all veterans of every war.
“Many are lost in war and many as the result of being in war,” said Mitchell, who lost her husband after he returned home from Vietnam.
