Do you need help?

To get paired with a volunteer veteran, or to make a referral for someone else, call 1-800-82-BUDDY. This service is confidential and there is no charge.

The Buddy-to-Buddy Volunteer Veteran Program cannot provide an immediate response in an emergency. We are a volunteer organization devoted to providing social support and resources to OEF/OIF veterans. We will return your call or email within 24 hours except on weekends when you will receive a call by the end of the business day.
