Description

We need volunteers to help with our Veterans Resource Center! 

 

The Veterans Resource Center (VRC) is a drop-in facility that provides veterans, family members and surviving spouses with the opportunity to meet peers, apply for benefits, and receive mental health services and referrals to other resources. The VRC also provides individual, family and marital counseling and equine therapy.

The VRC is directed by a peer-support trained veteran who will refer veterans and their family members to appropriate resources. The VRC will also provide online community-based application assistance services.

Services Available Include:

  • Identifying and addressing needs of Veterans and connecting with the resources they need
  • Providing assistance to homeless Veterans and those at-risk
  • Referrals to local Veteran-friendly agencies
  • Individual, family and marriage counseling
  • Peer support groups
  • Family support groups
  • Life skills training
  • Equine therapy
  • Networking with local, area and statewide services for claims, compensation and education

Volunteers can help in many ways; interacting with veterans, landscaping our courtyard, etc.
