Connecting Cobb Veterans Rebrands as Connecting Georgia Veterans
Empowering Veterans Statewide Through Enhanced Support and Resources
Atlanta, GA – December 17,– 2024 – The organization formerly known as Connecting Cobb Veterans is proud to announce its official rebranding to Connecting Georgia Veterans. This exciting transition reflects the organization’s commitment to broadening its impact and serving veterans throughout the entire state of Georgia.
Since its inception, Connecting Cobb Veterans has been a vital resource for veterans in Cobb County, offering a range of services, including career assistance, mental health support, and community-building initiatives. By expanding its focus and adopting the name Connecting Georgia Veterans, the organization aims to extend these services to a wider audience, ensuring that veterans from all corners of the state have access to the support they need to thrive.
Quote from Tyler Bowser, Program Director: “This rebranding marks a significant milestone for our organization. While we will always honor our roots in Cobb County, we recognize the growing demand for statewide support. Connecting Georgia Veterans represents our dedication to serving as a trusted partner and resource for all veterans across Georgia. Together, we can create stronger, more connected communities that honor and uplift those who have served our country.”
The transition includes a refreshed logo, updated branding materials, and a new website designed to provide easy access to resources, events, and support services for Georgia veterans. The organization will also be launching statewide outreach initiatives to connect with veterans and their families in underserved areas.
Connecting Georgia Veterans will continue to collaborate with local governments, nonprofits, and businesses to offer programs and services tailored to the unique needs of veterans. By fostering these partnerships, the organization ensures that every veteran has the tools and opportunities they need to lead fulfilling lives.

Through a comprehensive range of programs, the organization addresses VA benefits, mental health, housing, and community engagement, ensuring that veterans receive the resources and benefits they deserve.
This month we have a really big win for one of our clients who came to us in need of housing and a job. The 55-year-old Navy Veteran moved from Austin, TX on the premise that he had a job offer. On the way to Atlanta, the job offer was rescinded, and the Veteran was living in his car. He was referred to us by the Cherokee County Homeless Veteran Coalition, and we immediately connected him with local resources.
We stabilized the Veteran in emergency lodging for 8 nights and in parallel, worked with our partners at MUST Ministries. MUST was able to accept the Veteran client into their Veteran program, and he has been provided long-term housing with wrap-around services. During this time, the Veteran was self-motivated and was able to secure a job with Ashley Furniture.
We are happy to report that through 3 agencies working together, we have been able to help a Veteran get back on his feet. He is set up for success, can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and knows this is just a temporary moment in his life.
We are here to connect any Veteran in Cobb County with the services and benefits they need and have earned.
