U Matter 2 Inc. is a 501 (C) (3) nonprofit founded by Sylvia and Chad King in 2016.

U Matter 2 Inc. is hosting a Poker Run Fundraiser that is open to everyone 21-and-over on Aug. 16, and all types of vehicles are welcome.

There are five stops on the Poker Run, with the fifth stop back at the U Matter 2 Inc. Veterans Pavilion. A cash prize of $500 will be given to the best poker hand.

At the pavilion, there will be food, music, raffle tickets, baskets, a silent auction, and a 50/50 drawing.

Everyone is invited to attend the fun on Aug. 16, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., at 18990 5th Road, Plymouth.

U Matter 2’s programs are making a profound impact; however, they cannot achieve their goal without compassionate people like you. Your generosity has the power to change lives. Our veterans, first responders, and their families are counting on all of us to step up and support them.

The mission for U Matter 2 Inc. is simple: For over nine years, their mission has been to "Serve One Veteran at A Time!"

Many veterans are struggling with PTSD, unemployment, homelessness, and other issues as they try to find their way in our civilian world. Their message to these vets is: "You are not alone!" and they demonstrate this daily by raising chickens for protein, assisting with transportation and housing needs, including providing furniture, food, and financial assistance for utilities, and other essentials, helping veterans find employment, and delivering and serving holiday meals and gifts for veterans and their families.
