Operation Confidence has also hosted job fairs and community outreach events throughout the city of Los Angeles for over 15 years partnering with Fortune 500 companies, small businesses, and government agencies.
Two recent events were held on the grounds of the historic Los Angeles Sports Arena where all branches of the military and 120 vendors participated.
In 2008, Consuella, Executive Director discovered a large community of homeless Veterans living in their wheelchairs on the streets of Los Angeles’ Skid Row, many of whom still wore portions of their military uniforms on which were proudly displayed remnants of the American flag. It was at that time she asked the Board of Directors to make a commitment to do its part to help this forgotten population.
