Support for Rural Veterans

Since 2016, CoBank has partnered with No Barriers USA to support rural veterans. CoBank and its customers help bring veterans with disabilities to the Rocky Mountains. The vets hike, climb, raft and connect. Surrounded by others with similar experiences, they find a sense of comfort and belonging.

Approximately 300 veterans have participated in CoBank-sponsored No Barriers expeditions or taken part in an online curriculum. The experience has changed lives.
