Our Team

Lowcountry Veterans has an all-volunteer Board of Directors and nobody receives compensation. We simply do it because we love it and pride ourselves on the fact that 100% of every tax-deductible donation helps with our mission.

We also have an amazing team of in-home staff that cares for our veterans and is the true backbone of this organization.

Founder
 LESLIE JACKSON

Leslie Jackson is the Founder for Lowcountry Veterans.  Lowcountry Veterans Home  works collaboratively with the VA to provide housing and therapeutic life services to homeless Veterans associated with the Transitional Housing Program. 

 

Leslie saw the need for support for the low-income population daily as the owner and operator of Assisted Living Locators of Charleston.  There she helped her clients navigate the world of housing and care options. She quickly realized there are too few quality options for at risk veterans and decided to lean into the problem instead of turning away from it. 

interested in helping?

We also always have a need for gala committee members as well as student interns. For more information, please send an email to president@lowcountryveterans.org.
