At Christmas and all year long, Code of Vets gives back to veterans in need
Fox News
Christmas is a time when people give thanks and help their fellow neighbors. Military families are no exception. That’s where Code of Vets comes in.
The Tennessee-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit has been assisting veterans throughout the country since 2018, according to Code of Vets’ founder Gretchen Smith. Code of Vets' founder Gretchen Smith (left) told Fox News she created a nonprofit to help at-risk veterans in honor of her late father, Sgt. Danny E. Smiley (right). (Gretchen Smith) Sgt. Danny E. Smiley was a Vietnam War veteran and a Bronze Star Medal recipient. His daughter, Gretchen Smith, said he was exposed to Agent Orange and battled PTSD until his death.

"A lot of our at-risk families and elderly veterans are having to choose between gas and groceries or paying the water bill or the rent or electricity, and those are not choices they should be making," Smith told Fox News Digital. "That's something where we can step in and alleviate some of that financial burden while we find longer-term solutions."
