There probably isn’t a more important day on the calendar than Independence Day to take pause and reflect on the 5 things we need to thrive in our careers and in the communities where we live, work, and serve.

At ZeroMils, we have a passion for connecting the dots. Every day we bring together purpose driven organizations and leaders from the public, private and nonprofit sectors who are committed to making a greater impact, together.

At ZeroMils we like to talk about the 5 things every #Veteran and #militaryspouse needs to thrive. Beyond preaching these principles we firmly believe that “actions speak louder than words.” 

There is a massive skills gap in America, with a significant number of the 10 million unfilled jobs in our country going vacant – right here in Northern Virginia, Maryland, and Washington D.C. With these challenges, come unique opportunities for companies to brand themselves as employers that, not only understand the employment landscape, but also the macro and micro factors

At ZeroMils we believe you can solve any problem through a #connectedcommunity. Over the past several weeks, we have seen this reinforced time and again with organizations that also believe in this fundamental principle.

Today on #GivingTuesday we all have the power to make a positive impact. We know you have choices to make, so here are 5 extraordinary causes that ZeroMils would like to bring to your attention. These nonprofits and their talented teams are working tirelessly every day to create #militarythriving cultures and communities.
