You can apply to find out in advance if you’re eligible for burial in a VA national cemetery. This is called a pre-need determination of eligibility—and it can help make the burial planning process easier for your family members in their time of need. Learn how to apply for a pre-need determination of eligibility.

I would like to extend a heartfelt thank-you to Pittsburg State University social work student,Carrie Christopher, for dedicating her senior macro project to supporting local veterans. Her commitment, compassion, and hard work truly made a difference.

Through her project, Carrie raised $755, which she generously donated to Outside the Wire Veterans Foundation. Her efforts not only highlight the strength of our social work students but also show what happens when someone uses their talents to uplift our veteran community.

We are incredibly grateful for her dedication and for choosing OTW as the organization she wanted to support. Carrie, thank you for believing in our mission and for helping us continue serving those who have served our country.

🎄 Would You Like to Send Christmas Cheer to a Veteran This Holiday Season? 🇺🇸❤️

The holidays can be an especially lonely time for many of our veterans living in nursing homes and long-term care facilities. A simple Christmas card, a handwritten note, or even a small care package can make a world of difference in reminding them they’re loved, honored, and never forgotten.

If you, your family, your school, church group, or workplace would like to participate, you are welcome to mail cards or small care packages directly to our office:

📬 Outside the Wire Veterans Foundation
402 N Broadway St., Suite B
Pittsburg, KS 66762

If you would also like to send donations to support OTW’s work with veterans, they can be mailed to the same address. Every contribution helps us continue serving the men and women who have served us.

Thank you for helping us bring joy, compassion, and connection to our local heroes this Christmas. ❤️💚🇺🇸
