Where Community Finds Its Strength
About A Better Way OutReach
Our Mission
A Better Way OutReach exists to support veterans facing homelessness, addiction, mental health challenges, and major life transitions by removing practical barriers to treatment, stability, and independence.
We provide immediate support such as temporary pet care, transportation assistance, housing access, and resource navigation so veterans can enter treatment and rebuild their lives.
As resources allow, we also extend support to other vulnerable community members facing hardship, connecting them to stability services, skills training, and pathways toward long-term independence.
Get to Know Our Founder
Rod Manning
Rod Manning started A Better Way OutReach after years of watching people get taken advantage of in the service industry.
As a mechanic, he saw how often minorities, veterans, and single mothers were overcharged or misled, and he made it his mission to change that.
Through A Better Way OutReach, Rod helps participants gain mechanical knowledge that saves money and builds confidence. Beyond that, the program connects people with job and housing resources, offers workshops, and supports them in finding direction and purpose.
Participants also gain exposure to car restoration projects, which can lead to valuable job placement opportunities.
Guided by faith, family, and community, Rod is committed to serving those who feel they cannot help themselves. For him, A Better Way OutReach truly is a better way out.
