Checkmate Community stands with the men and women who wore our nation's uniform. We bring companionship, dignity, and support to veterans — in their own homes, in senior and nursing facilities, and to the families who love them.
Our Mission
To serve and honor United States military veterans — including those in senior and nursing homes — with companionship, enrichment, and the support they earned.
Who We Serve
Veterans wherever they are — at home, in care facilities, and the families who carry the load beside them.
Get Involved
Volunteer a visit, sponsor a veteran, or give. Every act of service honors those who served us.
Everything a Veteran Can Get
Housing, food, bills, benefits, a ride, or just someone to talk to — we connect you and help with the paperwork.
Standing With Those Who Served
Checkmate Community Inc is a nonprofit dedicated to serving United States military veterans and their families. Too many who gave so much are spending their later years alone — in their homes and in senior and nursing facilities. We show up for them.
From friendly visits and enrichment activities to connecting veterans and their families with the support they've earned, we make every move count for the men and women who answered the call.
