We're On A Mission

At the Military & Veteran Resource Expo, everything we do is rooted in service. We connect the Military and Veteran community, and their families with trusted, real-time support—backed by data, driven by experience, and designed for lasting impact.

Our Mission

To empower the lives of the Military and Veteran community by using a data-driven approach to connect them to benefits, services, and resources.

Our Purpose

To connect the Military and Veteran community with resources by listening to their needs, using data to drive action, and building accessible, community-powered solutions.

The Expo delivers meaningful connections and evidence-based results that help expand access and drive lasting impact.

Our Vision

We are building a future where every service member and Veteran is well-equipped, connected to the community, and empowered by a responsive and efficient infrastructure.

How It Works

The Expo is dedicated to connecting the Military and Veteran community to resources that are able to provide timely solutions to real time needs.

1. Intake Form

We start by listening. Attendees complete a short form telling us what they need most—benefits, housing, mental health support, education, and more.

2. Smart Matching

We use that information to match attendees with the right resources—and share a personalized list of recommendations before the event so they can plan ahead.

4. Attend the Expo

Connect with the resources you've been matched with, network, and own your future.

5. Data In Action

We don’t stop when the Expo ends. The data we collect informs an impact report and helps us advocate for new programs and partnerships that fill gaps in care.

5. Community-Level Change

We engage donors, policymakers, and community leaders—turning needs into action and expanding long-term access to trusted support.

Why It Matters

“I came to the expo because a good friend of mine invited me—and then I started hearing about it from others in the community. I was a bit worried it would be like other Veteran meetups, you know, one guy in the corner at the American Legion. But this was different—it was so much more. There were tons of resources and great groups. I thought I knew everything available to me—but I learned about benefits I didn’t even know existed.

"I talk to over 200 Marines a month—both active and prior service—and what I’ve seen is that a lot of Veterans aren’t taking full advantage of the resources available to them. That’s why I came to the South Florida Military & Veteran Expo: to gather information and get it into the hands of those who need it. Events like this are where real change happens. The people here are the ones who will help you follow your dreams, reach your goals, and make them truly attainable. If you get the chance to attend, show up. There’s nothing like being here in person."

“Whether you’re currently serving or already out, this event is a must. I’m an active duty Marine Corps Captain starting to think about transition—not quite ready yet, but I wanted to test the waters. Just two hours at the expo opened up so many doors for me. I now know that when the time comes, I have the connections, the confidence, and the resources to make that transition smoothly. I even brought another Marine with me who’s in the same position. If you’re unsure about what’s next, this is exactly where you need to be.”
