Meet The MRD Foundation
Founded in 2012 by Commander Warren Gilbert, MRD Foundation’s Veterans For Veterans Outreach is dedicated to promoting physical and mental health and wellness for our community’s military veterans and their families. As a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, we are a proud supporter of Governor Sandoval’s “Nevada’s Green Zone Initiative,” aligning resources in employment, education, and wellness to best serve Nevada’s veterans and their families.
Our outreach includes various programs and services designed to improve the quality of life for veterans, ensuring they receive the support and care they deserve. Located at the historic VFW Post 9211, we are also excited to launch the northern Nevada USO, offering a range of activities and resources for our military community.
Meet our Amazing Team!
