Connecting Greater Saint Louis Regional Veterans to Care & Community
The Gateway to a Greater Veteran-Supported Community
Transitioning from military to civilian life can be challenging, with many veterans facing obstacles like navigating VA benefits, finding housing and employment, and overcoming isolation.
We help veterans get connected to the resources they need, including VA registration, linking veterans to local resources, and plugging them into the community with veteran-focused events to help them adapt and thrive.
We currently support veterans in the following Counties: Jefferson (MO), Franklin (MO), St. Charles (MO), Madison (MO), St. Clair (IL), Monroe IL)
