Connect-HERS Program
Bridging the gap between women veterans experiencing homelessness and needed resources
The Connect-HERS is a program to address challenges encountered by women veterans in the Ottawa/Gatineau area who are experiencing homelessness or who are at risk. Through the outreach of efforts of trained trauma-informed Pepper Pod volunteers called Connect-HERS, the program impacts the lives of women veterans who face housing or food instability by connecting them with helpful community organizations and resources.

What we do:
Connect-HERS work hand in hand with shelters, food banks, veteran-serving organizations, healthcare providers, and local leaders to ensure women veterans experiencing homelessness or at risk receive timely, coordinated, and trauma-informed support.
Through these partnerships, Connect-HERS help identify women veterans in need, connects them to appropriate resources, advocates on their behalf, and ensures no one falls through the cracks.
The Pepper Pod Connect-HERS program does not provide housing or food directly. We serve as a referral and connection point, linking women veterans to trusted community resources and supports.
Thank you for your generosity and interest in Connect-HERS. We truly need the entire Pepper Pod Network’s help in spreading the word about the program, so we can connect with women veterans who could use some support.
As women veterans, we’re here for you.
Contact Connect-HERS if you or someone you know could use a helping hand.
