Honoring Service
Building Community

The objective of The Ocala Preserve Veterans Corporation, known as TOPVETS, is to promote awareness and interest in veteran’s affairs and to participate in community and civic activities. It’s dedicated to building a strong, functional team of volunteers who can respond to the needs of veterans in our Ocala Preserve community, the city of Ocala, Florida and throughout Marion County, Florida.  TOPVETS provides education within our community about the importance of supporting those who are serving or have served our country.

We Are Veterans Serving Veterans

TOPVETS was founded in 2020 as a club within the Ocala Preserve community to foster camaraderie among the many military veterans who call our neighborhood home. With members representing every branch of the Armed Forces, our organization has grown rapidly and now approaches 100 active members. Our earliest efforts centered on promoting patriotism through community-wide commemorations and by proudly lining our main avenue with American flags. Today, TOPVETS has evolved into a recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit that has raised more than $100,000 in just a few short years—all of which is returned directly to veterans in need within Ocala and Marion County. We continue to honor service, strengthen community, and support local veterans in meaningful and lasting ways.
