More About The Charity
The USO of Central and Southern Ohio (CSO) provides a home away from home to our local military and their families. USO-CSO is in 65 counties in Central and Southern Ohio, West Virginia and Northern Kentucky. The mission is to keep America’s military service members connected to family, home and country. We do this through lounges, programs, unit support and much more.
#22KILL works to raise awareness to the suicide epidemic that is plaguing our country, and educate the public on mental health issues such as PTSD. #22KILL also serves as a resource for veterans, and continues to build on its network of like-minded organizations to be able to connect veterans with programs and services in their local area. Funds raised through merchandise sales and donations are used to support partnered organizations who offer programs focusing on veteran empowerment, mental health treatment, and therapy/counseling for veterans and their families.
