What is ROGER?
Answer
ROGER is a free resource navigation platform created by Backpacks For Life to help veterans, service members, military families, caregivers, and supporters find organizations, programs, benefits, and services throughout New Jersey. We aim to bridge the gap between the veteran and the resource. ROGER exists because finding help can be overwhelming. The platform puts organized veteran resources in one place so people spend less time searching and more time connecting with support.
Example: A veteran in Ocean County looking for housing support can search ROGER by category and location, review organization profiles, and contact providers directly using the phone number, email, website, or application link on each listing.
