Code of Support Foundation

Code of Support Foundation has been immensely helpful for the families I have referred for services over the past 10 years. Their case coordination program and peer navigators are skilled at assessing the needs of veterans and families and leveraging resources to address those needs. This relationship is maintainted beyond the immediate need to provide ongoing support until the family is stabilized and prepared for success. The PATRIOTlink network database provides vetted resources for a variety of services and supports. PATRIOTlink is searchable by topics and categories relevant to the military and veteran community in their communities and across the nation. Code of Support Foundation is my number 1 recommendation to military and veteran families.

No one is ever available to answer or return phone calls

I attended one of their fundraising events and had a phenomenal time. One of the most refreshing things about this organization is their readiness to engage the veteran community.

The esteemed guests, speakers, and performers were all either veterans themselves, or had strong ties to the community through service or a shared experience.

Thank you COSF for supporting our veterans when they need us the most

Code of Support is an extremely passionate and well-ran organization that truly means to support veterans and their family. I’ve watched them work endlessly to raise money and provide resources for the veterans that are in need when so many have turned away from them. They truly inspire the community to do more and I hope they continue to be able to provide all they do for the veterans and their families.

Great organization supporting our Veterans. We owe our Vets a debt of gratitude for all that they and their families sacrifice.

A charity that truly cares, their commitment to Veterans is personal and unparalleled.

The day I realized Code of Support's mission I developed an enormous respect and appreciation for what this organization does. I know from personal experience that many veterans are simply not able to navigate the sea of programs available to help them especially since some of those programs are simply not good for some vets. Knowing that there is an organization like Code of Support that carefully examines those programs and matches veterans with the best programs that deliver the most value to them and their families is truly amazing and priceless.

Thank you Code of Support for the essential and unique role you play in bettering the lives of our dear veterans especially when they need it most.

Code of Support is an exceptional organization run by an incredible team of dedicated, devoted, and caring individuals. I have witnessed the countless stories of the military veterans who have benefited from Code of Support services. It is truly life giving. I have attended numerous fundraisers all of which include the most caring supporters. I fully endorse the amazing work that Code of Support is doing to care for our veterans and ensure they have the services they need.

Very good work and great job on supporting our veterans

Amazing work from the entire team

A new hope for the future

Great work supporting our veterans and improving community awareness of the sacrifices our military, contractors and family members go through to protect our freedoms.

They don't do anything the veteran could already find on the internet. They ask for sensitive, private information that they don't need. Then just tell you about all this stuff you could have found by typing it into google.
Probably laundering money.

They are helping more and more military families every year! They are doing a great job.

They have a unique method for connecting most non profit/veterans aid organizations together in one platform.

Code of Support has been an amazing organization, leading the way for veterans, service members, and their families to navigate through services and resources. The work to ensure every individual that reaches out receives the time and attention to succeed and thrive. They are experts at what they do and services they provide in the veteran service arena.

Excellent organization and top notch staff! I know my donation is being used in a responsible manner and helping our veterans that need help.

excellent team and mission. code of support is the glue for veteran services

As a major donor, I have seen the life-changing impact of the work COSF does. They solve problems that other organizations can't, especially when a veteran's need does not fit neatly into the mission and would fall through the cracks.

This organization gave me support when no one else would due to my husband's invisible wounds. They provided brain scanning when the VA said there was no TBI ...there was...they helped me get a scholarship and connected me to a personal network of support through love.

I interned with Code of Support Foundation over the summer, and it was a great experience. The entire team is incredible and extremely dedicated with everything they do. They also allowed all the interns to get fully involved and touch several different projects. I was able to learn a lot and feel like part of the team. And of course, their mission is incredible and something that inspires the whole team to work hard.

This organization does great things for the veteran community. They are a wealth of resources and will help any veteran regardless of their service time.

Great nonprofit doing amazing work for military families and caregivers.

The people who work here are really great. The work they do here is superb, what a great cause, go America!

I came across their patriotlink website and found it to be really helpful. I think this could be good for other military families out there looking for resources.

Heard about this organization from a friend. Very impressed with all they're doing to help military families. Recommend checking them out!

Code of Support is an amazing organization that truly cares for the military and veteran community. They seek to provide holistic, sustainable solutions to issues facing those who have served our country and their families, and have continued to strengthen their programs in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the news out of Afghanistan, the housing crisis, and so much more.

NO Veteran Service Organization impacts the lives of veterans and their families as distinctively and uniquely as the Code of Support. Thru the proprietary PatLINK cloud-based system, client needs are connected to the resources required, AND the staff remains part of the client's lives until complete resolution.

Code of Support makes a difference in the lives of both military veterans and their caregivers! Especially as we navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, the Code of Support Foundation is an essential resource for so many families.

I am a donor to Code of Support Foundation because I believe in the truly great work that they do. COSF not only talks about supporting the military and veteran families - they "practice what they preach". They are there supporting them until they are no longer needed - they never leave their side until the family is stable and no longer need their help. When a lot of organizations say they are there to help, they may offer some type of support but move on and don't follow through to make sure the issue has been solved and the family no longer needs help. In other words, other organizations let them "fall thru the gap" and if they fail they fail. But COSF doesn't let that happen. They are there until there is a solution and it is implemented! I believe in my heart that if COSF had been there for my brother in the 90's he would still be with us today. I can't think of a better organization to help our military and veteran families than Code of Support Foundation.

The Code of Support Foundation is an incredible nonprofit that is managed and run by equally incredible and kind people! In my time working here, I have felt supported, encouraged, and welcomed by the team. As a student, the team has been flexible and adaptable to balancing work and school. In addition, the Code of Support Foundation offers an array of incredible resources to veterans, and goes above and beyond for the military community as a whole.

This non profit truly helped out my life. Thanks to all those who serve and who support Code of Support Foundation.

This non-profit is exceptional because it works to assist the veterans, service members, caregivers and military family members that fall through the cracks at other organizations. Their free resource database, PATRIOTlink, is a tremendous resource.

Code of Support Foundation has been an enormous help to my health care organization by providing many of our community veterans and their families connection to a navigator that has linked them up with support services and local agencies that have been able to provide urgent and timely resources for the entire family! What's remarkable, is that the Code of Support Team demonstrate their dedication to their mission and everyone they encounter, whether it be a referral agency, veteran or community citizen looking to understand their work. The Code of Support team do everything they can to get to YES, and all the while making every veteran and their family feel cared about and valued! Their CEO, Ms. Kristina Kaufmann whom I've met a several times, leads by example and never misses an opportunity to advocate for our veteran community! There are many non profit organizations that I interact with on a regular basis, but Code of Support is clearly 5 gold stars and beyond!

Code of Support is a life changer for so many veterans, service members, and families in crisis. I have witnessed their work first hand, and commend them for their holistic approach with each and every person they assist. No band-aids here; their case management model ensures that all concerns are addressed and resolved, and that a case is not considered complete until the service member or veteran and their family are thriving and on a path to self sufficiency.

COSF came into our lives at our truly darkest moment. My husband was battling his demons of PTSD and struggling with his TBI. Code of Support has walked with us through this last year and been a true advocate for my husband, his health, our marriage, and our family! They truly care about veterans AND their families!!

Before COVID -19 I was working 3 jobs and doing well, to keep my head above water for me and my Grandsons. Then after the pandemic hit, I lost 2 jobs and faced a high water bill, and trying to keep food on the table was a total hardship. I tried help with various local places for assistance but they were all closed. I then found some others that assisted Veterans but they were out of money. After I kept clicking on different sites I came across Code of Support, they were totally a gift from God. Beverly Poyer, my intake caseworker as an Angel, she made me feel so comfortable talking to her about my situation. She started out being my caseworker, now it feels like she's part of the family. She was able to send my case to another agency that was able to bless me with paying my water bill as well as a nice gift card for groceries. Code of Support has been one of the few good things that have happened to my family in 2020. Compassionate, friendly, caring, thoughtful, patience, a good listener, and loyal are some of the words that I could use to describe the Code of Support Foundation.

I remotely interned for Code of Support over the summer and had a wonderful experience (I particularly enjoyed working with Carly VanTassel). It was great to help an organization that provides such important services for veterans considering all they've been through and are still going through. It was very clear that the people at Code of Support were very invested in their work.

I interned with Code of Support Foundation this past summer and my experience was amazing! The team is dedicated to serving the veteran community. It was a privilege to work with Code of Support and see the difference this organization is making in the lives of others.

This past summer I interned for Code of Support, and it was a wonderful experience! Everyone on the team has a passion for helping others, and I was lucky enough to witness the hard work that goes into providing services to clients. I am continuing to volunteer for the organization and am excited to see how it continues to grow and evolve!

I volunteered with Code of Support last November to wash the Vietnam Memorial. It was great to be able to help a foundation with a cause I believe in. They teamed up with the Daughters of the American Revolution to help clean the Vietnam Memorial through the National Parks Service. This was at 7 AM on a Sunday, and we still had plenty of veterans walking through the memorial thanking us for volunteering to honor those names on the wall. I look forward to volunteering for them again and I would highly recommend looking into the foundation

Last year, I volunteered with Code of Support and it was a fantastic experience. Along with the Daughters of the American Revolution, we spent a Sunday morning washing the Vietnam Memorial on the National Mall. It was a wonderful experience to see the sun rise as the soap bubbles dripped down the wall! Not only does this great org help people on a day to day basis, but they also give back to the community. Highly recommend!

My special needs daughter and I moved to Phoenix with practically nothing. I left an abusive relationship that triggered very sever PTSD that I was diligent working on healing since transitioning out of the Navy back in 2006. I was so overwhelmed and did not have anywhere to turn. I reached out to The Code of Support and they listened to my struggle and were so helpful, in so many ways. They helped me by providing an accessible van so that my daughter had transportation. They sent us gifts and support when my daughter had a major surgery. They still help us and it has been 4 years since the big move. I truly do not know how I would have got through the last few years without their support. Marjorie checks in on us regularly and helps me find resources when I get stuck and do not know where to turn. I appreciate them with all my heart. They continue to exceed my expectations and show me that I am not alone on this tough journey.

Out of all the orgs that help Veterans and their fanilies. COSF is definitely top notch. They not only help the Veteran but also help the family. Sometimes you dont know what help you need but they listen and can help you figure out what will help.

I am a caregiver to my Army Veteran husband who suffers from a traumatic brain injury in which he incurred while deployed along with Trigeminal Neuralgia (nerve damage on the left side of his face & head). We are forever grateful for the Code of Support Foundation and especially our case coordinator, Marjorie Pennington for connecting us with other organizations & resources to help assist us with our current needs. The Code of Support Foundation has been an amazing organization to my family and I and it has given me more hope as a caregiver to my wounded veteran! Thank you so much for guiding me and feeling empowered!

I am very grateful for the support my family has received from Marjorie Pennington at Code of Support. She calls my wife regularly, and has given much needed support for my wife, our child and me. I am an Army Veteran and have been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. Marjorie has found many organizations that are willing to help my family. We are very thankful for Marjorie and Code of Support.

My husband and I were anticipating just one more rejection when we reached out to Code of Support. Much to our relief Marjorie Pennington welcomed us with open arms; she embraced us, listened to us and continues to provide so many opportunities for support as we navigate an incredibly difficult situation. My husband, an Honorably Discharged Army Veteran, was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer a little over a year ago. My husband is unable to work, and I am the primary caregiver for him and our 3-year old. The VA has twice denied a service connection for my husband’s diagnosis, which had made it insurmountable to meet all of his needs. Our overwhelming needs are what led us ultimately to Marjorie at Code of Support. She has not only steadily provided 1:1 support herself, but she continues to put us in touch with organizations that are willing to help us financially and emotionally with items such as in-home health care, child care and support for me as a caregiver. My husband, our son and I are so very grateful for the ongoing support from Marjorie at Code of Support.

I contacted Code of Support on behalf of my daughter, son-in-law and grandson. My son-in-law, an Honorably Discharged Army veteran, has been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. He is a West Point graduate, attained the rank of Captain and was awarded a Bronze Star Medal while serving in Afghanistan. In spite of a plethora of evidence submitted, he has twice been denied a service connection for this devastating diagnosis. My son-in-law is unable to work and cannot drive or be left alone; my daughter is the primary caregiver for him and their 3-year-old son. As difficult as it can be to ask for help, their circumstance led me to apply to any and all organizations I could find for any type of support on their behalf. We experienced many rejections from organizations, which left us feeling incredibly disheartened.
I am delighted to say that when I reached out to Code of Support, Marjorie Pennington flung a door wide open. Marjorie entered our lives and has provided an indescribable amount of support and guidance to this young family. She is consistently respectful, compassionate, professional, knowledgeable, available, reliable . . . I could go on & on! She has provided numerous connections that have helped eased the burden for this small family as they grapple with this devastating diagnosis and the multiple needs that arise from such an illness; including medical expenses, travel costs, child care and income loss. Marjorie’s assistance has not only addressed the areas we were aware of, but she recognized additional areas of need and provided excellent services and contacts. One example is Marjorie making sure that my daughter was able to connect with caregiver groups. These groups have given her the invaluable and unique opportunity to converse with others in similar circumstances.
It is difficult to express the gratitude we have for Marjorie Pennington and Code of Support. Marjorie is a phenomenal Case Coordinator, and we are extremely fortunate to have the good fortune to be working with her at Code of Support!

Code of Support is a GREAT organization. They helped me with finding funding for critical home repairs when I had no way to pay for them. They were so supportive and they still follow up and check up on me and my family. I dont know what I would have done without them.

Code of Support is a great organization to volunteer with! It's obvious they care about their volunteers, employees, and clients a lot. It's been my pleasure working with them so far!

You won't find a more dedicated, passionate and dependable group of people to support veterans and their families during times of need. I had the opportunity to support one of their many efforts that gives Veterans, and their care givers or family members, that personal touch during the holiday season. A season that often makes those who need love feel more alone. Code of Support Foundation is that hand when you feel like you are invisible. I'm a proud supporter of their cause and feel honored they allowed me to help them with their cause (even in the smallest way). Thank you for everything you do!

I had the privilege to volunteer during my company's service day at Code of Support. They have a great and dedicated team to help coordinate assistance to veterans, a service that has been missing for veterans. Many organizations deal with one aspect of assisting veterans and the military, but I can't think of any that play a coordinating role in this way.

Code of support truly helps the most needed veterans and their families. The staff works tirelessly to support and aid the veteran community.

I'm walking proof! This great organization helped me establish a sense of pride I was losing. I was employed with VA Healthcare but wad also homeless. Spending my checks on food and motels. I found it impossible to save for an apartment. I almost gave up on myself until I came in contact with Mr. Phil McMillan. Through his hard work and dedication i had a rod to call my own within 3wks. I'm proud to say I'm still there. Code of Support Foundation gave me what I had lost, HOPE. I now have a home, continue working, and can proudly spend time with my children. Thank You from the bottom of my heart. Mr. McMillan you will always be a God sent Angel in my eyes. My children and I were touched by your selflessness. You are forever our Ray of Hope!

I have met some of the clients who have benefited from the services offered by Code of Support. It is clear that the work they do is essential to many families who are seeking to be connected to services they need to be successful after military service.

It has been such an honor and pleasure volunteering for/interning with this organization. The work they do for service members, veterans, and their families changes and saves lives every day. This has been the most rewarding, fulfilling, and fun job I have had, and I am so grateful to learn from such amazing people.

I was at at loss, and desperate. Years of trying to deal all alone with a veteran son that came home from Iraq, disabled with PTSD a TBI along with some physical injuries. Asking for help is not what I was told to do growing up. And when I did ask, the constant rejection made us feel unworthy. It was at a very low time in my life that I was connected with Goal of Support foundation. The beautiful lady Marjorie Pennington became my sons and myself advocate and guide. Without much faith from us in the beginning she never gave up. And now my son is on a path a treatment and support. From total bleakness, I now have hope of a new and better life, for my son and myself. To say we were saved just in time, is the most honest statement, I can give you. And I am just so grateful. I thank them for pulling us from the dark and becoming the closest to a family we have. The saved us. Kim Fox, mother and caregiver.

In the the time that I have been an Intern here at Code of Support, I have seen more good done than I know what to do with. The case coordinatiors treat the veterans with respect and give each and every one of them the same attention, compassion, and time that they so clearly need and deserve. Working here has been wonderful because I have learned how to interact with clients and been able to help give them the individually tailored experience that makes Code of Support special.

This organization saved my life this past year. I was on the verge of being homeless and now I'm safe and have a roof over my head because of the amazing work from them. They have been working with me, making sure that I'm not in a dangerous place anymore. I owe them everything.

When I contacted Code of Support I figured they would help me one time and send me on my way. We were at rock bottom and didn't know where to go. They have helped us every step of the way and are still helping us almost a year later. I couldn't ask for a better organization. They gave me hope again and the will to keep fighting. Everything from finances, appeals, and just needing somebody to talk to they're always there for us. Code of Support stands up to their name. Without them we would be homeless and hungry. Thank you Code of Support for always having our backs. They're the #1 organization in my book.

Code of support is amazing!!!! I needed help relocating to the East coast and had no way of affording this on my own. They found donors to help, and when they hadn't quite reached the goal they used their personal time to find individual donors until my need was met. They are very professional and prompt i am forever grateful for such amazing people in my life.
