Neighborly® has announced it’s support of the upcoming Military Thriving™ event. It will take place on Tuesday, September 17, 2024, at “The Hive” in Virginia Beach. Organized by ZeroMils, the event aims to empower Veteran and military spouse entrepreneurs. It has a particular focus on franchise ownership opportunities available through Neighborly’s extensive network of home service brands.
The all-day convening will unite local government officials, corporate and nonprofit partners, regional economic development centers, Veteran employment centers, and educational institutions. It will serve to drive impactful solutions that meet the needs of Veterans and military spouses, fostering a more resilient and thriving military community.

They will be led by franchise professionals and current Neighborly Veteran franchise owners.
