Veterans United Foundation and Cars 4 Missouri Partner to Gift Vehicles to Local Veterans

July 15, 2025

Columbia, MO – Veterans United Foundation, the philanthropic non-profit formed by Veterans United Home Loans, today held a special event celebrating its partnership with Cars 4 Missouri, a local nonprofit that provides reliable transportation to Missourians in need. The event took place at Veterans United headquarters at 550 Veterans United Drive and featured food trucks and treats for everyone in attendance, which included hundreds of Veterans United employees who were there to show their support.

As a direct result of this partnership, two local Veterans were honored and presented with vehicles– gifts that represent more than just a mode of transportation; they are symbols of gratitude for service and an investment in a better future. A Veterans United Foundation donation of $34,000 to Cars 4 Missouri will provide 12 cars for 12 Veterans in 2025.

“At Cars 4 Missouri, we believe access to transportation can change lives, especially for those who have served our country,” said Anthony Conway, founder of Cars 4 Missouri. “These Veterans have given so much, and it’s our privilege to give something meaningful back. We’re incredibly grateful to Veterans United Foundation for helping us make this possible. Their support allows us to continue this mission and expand our impact across the state.”

Veterans United Foundation – funded and driven by the employees of Veterans United Home Loans – contributed funding that helped Cars 4 Missouri expand its reach to Veterans in the Columbia area. The Foundation’s mission is to enhance lives every day, and this collaboration is a testament to that ongoing commitment.

“We are honored to support Cars 4 Missouri in their mission to empower individuals through access to reliable transportation,” said Piper Brintnall, Veterans United Foundation Coordinator. “It’s incredibly meaningful to be part of an effort that provides such a direct and positive impact in the lives of Veterans in our community.”

The July 15 event included remarks from representatives of both organizations, the car presentations to the recipients, and a celebration of the collective effort to serve those who have served us. These contributions align with Veterans United Foundation’s core values of service and community, reflecting the company’s dedication to creating a meaningful impact nationwide.
