Standing Strong Together

We don’t find happiness in doing what we like, but in liking what we do.  Barry County Acts of Kindness doesn’t just like what we do.  We are passionate about what we do. We honor our heroes. We describe a hero as someone who has given his or her life to something far bigger than oneself. We support our heroes with love and compassion.

As President John F. Kennedy once said, “Word to the Nation: Guard zealously your right to serve in the Armed Forces, for without them, there will be no other rights to guard.”

Join us as we Stand Strong Together for our Veterans of Barry County!

Community Impact

As a veteran and the Veteran Navigator for Barry County, I support Barry County Acts of Kindness and appreciate their dedication to our community's Military Service Members. I have witnessed AOK consistently serving veterans in our community with compassion and dignity. Instead of passing judgment on our veterans who are seeking assistance, Barry County Acts of Kindness looks to understand the veterans need. Once they understand, they quickly and eagerly meet that need.

It can be a challenge to qualify for local, state, and VA funding for our veterans, often taking 30 days or more to receive an approval or denial.  AOK removes the red tape - they offer Service Members a hand-up, not a hand-out. I have reached out to them several times and each time they have answered the call.  I am grateful to have them in our community and I am confident that they will continue to support our Service Members. Thank you, Barry County Acts of Kindness, for standing in the gap for our veterans. I will continue to support your mission!

Thank You to Barry County Acts of Kindness!

This winter I'm so grateful to have a new sturdy front porch handrail, garage windows repaired, and a garage door that works. I can now park in my garage!
I want to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone at Barry County Acts of Kindness. Thank you to all those who so kindly provided excellent workmanship, time, and materials to address safety and security issues at my home. I'm truly grateful.
Your help and concern for our community is a godsend to families, the elderly, and Veterans who live here.

Sincerely,

Shawn Haltom
