Veterans Outreach Center
We are proud to announce that Don Reeve has been appointed as the new Chair of the Veterans Outreach Center Board of Directors.
Mr. Reeve is a pillar of the Rochester business community, bringing a legacy of operational excellence and executive leadership to VOC. In addition to being a combat veteran of the Vietnam War, he had a remarkable 42-year tenure at Wegmans Food Markets, retiring in 2012 as Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer.
However, Mr. Reeve’s commitment to service did not end with his corporate career. He has been a dedicated advocate for our mission for years, serving multiple terms on the VOC Board of Directors, including five years as Board Chair. His return to this leadership role further exemplifies his commitment to expanding our impact and ensuring the long-term sustainability of our programs.
“We are incredibly fortunate to have Don return as Board Chair to guide our strategic vision in 2026,” Veterans Outreach Center Executive Director & U.S. Army Veteran Laura Heltz said. “His decades of executive leadership and deep institutional knowledge of VOC make him the perfect partner to help us expand our impact. Don is truly invested in ensuring every veteran has the resources to rise.”
“Returning to lead the Board is a privilege I take to heart because I know firsthand the life-changing impact this organization delivers for our community,” Mr. Reeve said. “I look forward to working with this incredible team to ensure we are doing everything possible to serve those who served us.”
Please join us in welcoming Mr. Reeve back to the helm. With his leadership and your continued support, we look forward to a year of unprecedented impact for our local veterans.
