Veteran Support

With our partners, the Captain John D. Mason program and NAMI Racine County, we work hard to assist veterans and their families struggling with their emotional well-being and having difficulty connecting to services.

We serve any veteran, active duty military, or reservist who lives or works in Wisconsin.

VOW 9-Line Support Includes:

• Safe storage of medication and firearms
• Mental health access
• Peer support services – veteran-led support groups are provided at VOW; individual support is also available
• Alcohol/drug treatment support – we can connect you to a provider near you for alcohol or drug treatment; additionally, you can attend the VOW AA group - groups are held weekly
• Food insecurity – we can connect you with a food pantry near you
• Homelessness or risk of homelessness – we provide housing at our tiny home village or can connect you with other veteran housing or HUD Vash
• Employment opportunities or connection to job training opportunities
• VA services – are you connected to the VA? We can get you connected for your health or mental health needs

There is no fee for these services.
