The key to a successful transition is a strong social support system to rely on. Chicago Veterans is focused on building a positive social support system for our Veterans community by providing opportunities for Veterans to connect, socialize, learn, and grow together. In doing so, we will help empower military veterans to take control of their own transitions throughout life.
Illinois Joining Forces bring together public, private, and government stakeholders to collaboratively support SMVF – to include caregivers and survivors – regardless of status. IJF helps service members, veterans, and their families navigate the “sea of goodwill” to find the support they need when they need it.
The Road Home Program provides mental health care and wellness to veterans of all eras, service members and their families at no cost and regardless of discharge status. Call us at (312) 942-8387 (VETS) or fill out the Inquire About Care form.
To enrich the lives of America’s veterans by connecting them to their community through physical and social activity. Every year, more than 250,000 active duty service members transition out of the military, joining the 3.5 million post-9/11 veterans already living in communities nationwide. They face many challenges including isolation, weight gain, lack of purpose, and other health issues. Team Red, White & Blue is the antidote to the isolation and health challenges they face.
Veterans possess the drive and desire to serve others, but without access to the tools needed, their potential to make meaningful impact at the local level remains untapped. On the other end of the spectrum growing numbers of communities in this country are under-resourced and being left behind. At The Mission Continues, we’re on a mission to connect veterans with under-resourced communities.
TMF strives to unite and strengthen communities by training, developing, and highlighting the role models that lead them. We develop programs, training opportunities, and events designed to empower veterans and families of the fallen, and then inspire them to pass on their values to the next generation and the community at large.
Every warrior has unique challenges and goals. That’s why we provide a variety of veteran programs and services to help you take the steps that are right for you. What’s more, thanks to the tremendous support of our donors, you never pay a penny to get the help you need to build the future you deserve.
