PureTalk, a Veteran-led nationwide cell phone service provider, and America’s Warrior Partnership (AWP), a nonprofit that partners with communities to prevent Veteran suicide, are continuing in their commitment to stand behind our nation’s heroes in times of need. Together, PureTalk and AWP are urging Veterans and their families struggling in the aftermath of recent storms impacting North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Georgia, and Florida to reach out to AWP for assistance.

AWP assists Veterans in key areas of support, including housing, benefits, education, and employment, as well as mental health, through avenues such as their 24/7 Network Support Line. The organization bridges the gaps between Veteran services providers and public agencies to assist Veterans and their families.“Too many of our nation’s Veterans are facing difficulties in civilian life, from mental health to housing and employment,” said Jim Lorraine, President and CEO of America’s Warrior Partnership. “Those issues have been compounded by the devastation caused by hurricanes in the Southeast, and we want Veterans to know help is available.”

PureTalk is dedicated to the long-term support of Veterans and their families by providing monetary support to organizations like AWP. Through round-up billing options and one-time donations available on the PureTalk customer platform, the PureTalk community has directed over 300,000 individual donations to AWP since their partnership began in January 2023.

“The effects of Hurricane Helene underscore the importance of PureTalk’s partnership with AWP and our efforts to support America’s Veterans,” said Will Curry, Chief Strategy Officer at PureTalk parent company Telrite Holdings. “It is in times like these when it is most critical that AWP and PureTalk are able to provide aid to those who have served.”

AWP is currently helping to coordinate critical assistance for Veterans and their families located in the hurricane impact zones through its local support network. Veterans, family members, and friends of Veterans who are in need, or who know a Veteran in need due to the aftermath of Hurricane Helene or Hurricane Milton, are encouraged to contact AWP.
