Brooke’s dad passed away after a long battle with PTSD, depression, and substance abuse. Frustrated by the lack of creative and practical solutions to issues, Brooke created The Joel Fund to serve the veteran and military communities in North Carolina.
To accomplish our mission, TJF runs programs focused on community and resiliency. These programs are:
Operation ART which provides healing and recovery through community-focused art classes
Operation Connect which creates warm referrals throughout North Carolina
Operation Furnish which provides furnishings for Veterans moving into permanent housing after experiencing homelessness
