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.
