Guitars for Vets
“Putting the healing power of music into the hands of heroes” is what Guitars for Vets is all about. This innovative program gives gently used guitars to Canadian veterans and members of the Armed Forces with service-related disabilities. Here’s what you should know about this innovative program. HOW IT STARTED Guitars for Vets recognizes that music can be healing for veterans living with PTSD as
well as other mental and physical impairments sustained while serving. This volunteer-led program is co-ordinated by Veterans Emergency Transition Services (VETS), an organization dedicated to helping homeless and other struggling veterans reintegrate into society. VETS has helped more than 4,500 veterans find housing, jobs and access to social services. The Guitars for Vets program matches veterans with donated guitars. It also pairs veterans with knowledgeable instructors
so they can learn to play their instrument, develop new skills and uncover a lifelong passion. ONLINE LESSONS Guitars for Vets has recently announced a Cross Country Tour, a series of virtual guitar lessons for veterans across Canada. One hundred participants will receive a brand-new acoustic guitar plus 10 free lessons from an instructor.
GUITAR DONATIONS If you have a guitar that still works well but isn’t played as much as it should be, drop it off at any Long & McQuade store in Canada. Your guitar will go to a veteran in need, and you’ll be putting the healing power of music into the hands of a hero.
