🎙️ We took a trip to Dog Tag Bakery in the heart of Georgetown—and it’s so much more than a bakery. 🍪☕ Every treat you buy helps change lives for veterans, military spouses, and caregivers across the country.

Dog Tag runs a powerful 5-month Entrepreneurial Fellowship Program in partnership with Georgetown University. It equips members of the military community with the skills, support, and confidence to take their next steps—whether launching a business, changing careers, or starting a nonprofit.

Did you know military spouses are one of the most underpaid groups in the U.S.? This program helps change that—providing not just a certificate from Georgetown, but a lifelong network of friends, mentors, and cheerleaders.

Whether you're connected to the military or just want to support a great cause, Dog Tag is worth knowing about. 🎧 Listen to their story on the latest episode at Weregood.net or wherever you get your podcasts.

In this episode, we’re highlighting an amazing organization that Founder Deborah Snyder calls “a little HGTV on the veterans’ side.” 🏠

As Affordable Housing Month and Military Appreciation Month wrap up, we’re spotlighting the work of Operation Renewed Hope Foundation — a group dedicated to helping veterans secure safe, stable housing in the D.C. area.

Deborah Snyder and Program Director Maria Grinstead share how they’re breaking down barriers like mental health challenges, low income, and high living costs with a Housing First approach that truly changes lives.

They meet veterans where they are — providing not just housing, but also support.

Want to make a difference? You can help in so many ways, from donating clothes to volunteering for lawn care. Every bit counts.

🎙️ Tune in to the latest episode to hear their inspiring story and learn how you can get involved!
