Adapt A Vet

COL(R) Jeff Ragland, Adapt a Vet’s Executive Director, is an Army veteran living in the San Antonia area. There are also over 212,000  other veterans living in this part of Texas. Of those veterans, over 28,000 are 70-100% disabled and many are living in homes that aren’t adapted to suit their needs.

It just so happened that in the summer of 2015, Jeff was planning on moving to the area bringing not only a background in the Army, but also in nonprofit management. When the time and circumstances coalesced, he knew that he could use his skills, his drive and his connections to build an organization to rebuild veterans’ lives through simple home adaptations.

As soon as the idea came about, he knew who he had to go to: his good pal, Mike Cotugno. Well, Mike had been in the construction business for quite some time, and he knew that something like this was more than necessary in the area. It would help the local population prosper, while providing the construction community a chance to give back in a fruitful and skilled way.

Now, a 501c(3), Adapt a Vet is on its way to effecting the homes of the brave in the Central Texas area and in helping their service animals.
