***UPDATE***
The Gary E. Milgard Family Foundation has awarded $1 Million Dollars to support the establishment and implementation of a Veteran and Military Family Outreach and Community Center in Pierce County, WA, called RallyPoint/6™. Please join the Milgard Family and other private and public partners in sharing the responsibility to support our military community.
RallyPoint/6™ formally known as the Unfinished Mission® is one of the first 20 sites in the nation that has been identified by the Points of Light Foundation as an official Community Blueprint Community that brings together the “Community Blueprint” initiative for Active and Reserve Military Service Members, their Families and Veterans in Washington State.
RallyPoint/6™; a 501(c)3 not for profit organization was founded in September 2011 by two veterans who are passionate about service, team, and mission accomplishment.
Our mission is to engage, mentor and encourage Service Members, Veterans, and their Families in the next steps to completing their personal mission. The greatest loss a Veteran feels upon exiting the military is lack of “mission” or “team”; it is important to note, that “team” to a Veteran means you know you will never be left behind. The RallyPoint/6™ team encourages this ethos in supporting Active and Reserve Service Members, their Families and Veterans from all generations.
More…Who We Are
Veterans, Military Families and Citizen Leaders engaged in mentoring and empowering our military community. Ensuring that we have a consistent and reliable network of champions from all levels of society who are committed to communicating and collaborating to enact the vision of the “Next Generation of Innovative Partnerships”; framing how we collectively support our Service Members, their Families and Veterans.
A consortium of public, private and community partners in Washington State are changing the way services are provided; a new strategy for how to better leverage existing programs and resources to build capacity, collaborate, share best practices, reduce duplication of services and join forces to serve the Veterans and military families of Washington State. Developed by a coalition of more than 55 veteran and military-serving organizations, nonprofits and government agencies, the Community Blueprint aims to inspire, equip and mobilize veterans to engage their local communities through meaningful service.
