Benefiting Charity
Still Serving Veterans (SSV) was established as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization on February 8, 2006, by Will Webb, Jerry Gabig, and Becky Pillsbury. Their goal was to help severely wounded Veterans with the transition to civilian life and help them secure VA benefits. The founders realized that many non-wounded Veterans were also having difficulty finding and securing employment, so SSV began supporting all Veterans and members of the National Guard or Reserve who were seeking civilian careers and who needed support during the transition process.​
​
SSV’s greatest honor was being named a Primary Grantee of the Call of Duty Endowment (CODE) in 2014. CODE provides substantial restricted grants to 10 nonprofit organizations in the U.S. and U.K. that have proven themselves to be among the most effective and efficient at connecting Veterans with high-quality jobs.
​
SSV’s VA Benefit counselors earned American Legion & ADVA (Alabama Department of Veteran Affairs) Certification in 2019 as part of a public/private partnership enabling our counselors to expedite the VA application process for clients.
​
Still Serving Veterans remains dedicated to helping Veterans and their families build on their military service to create meaningful and fulfilling lives. We help clients create civilian-friendly resumes and LinkedIn profiles, and offer mock interviews and salary negotiation skills. We ensure that Veterans secure the VA benefits they are entitled to receive, and we connect Veterans to other needed resources.
​
Our board and staff are dedicated to supporting veterans who have given so much to serve our country, often at a great personal price. Every day Still Serving Veterans reinforces Huntsville’s reputation as a military-friendly community.
