Join the fight

It all begins with an idea. At Invest in Veterans Week, we believe that idea can turn into a successful business with the right support. Our mission is to empower veteran business owners with the resources they need to thrive. We invite you to join us in this fight by donating to our cause or getting involved in our programs. Together, we can ensure that veterans have the opportunity to turn their ideas into reality.

Supporting Veteran Businesses Nationwide

The Lexington Chamber & Visitors Center launched a compelling campaign to support local businesses owned by veterans throughout the week, until March 7th 2021. This initiative serves to highlight the incredible contributions of veteran-owned businesses to their local communities and the economy as a whole and how lawmakers have helped support our work.
