ABOUT US

OUR STORY

Helping Veterans One Hero at a Time!

CELEBRATE

Veterans Support Commission is a 501c3 nonprofit organization created to celebrate veterans and the sacrifices made by the veteran and their families.

Our celebration began as a going away party for a family member serving in Afghanistan & has continued to grow over the last 6 years.

SCHOLARSHIP

Our events provide support for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Scholarship Fund for children of local veterans.

SUPPORT

Looking out for our aging and medically disadvantaged veterans is one of our greatest honors - to care for those who took care of us. Our programs help provide repairs and maintenance to the homes of our heroes who need our help.

The VSC team is made up of former military members, dependents, and volunteers. We all have big hearts when it comes to honoring and helping our military members!

US Navy Dependent

I grew up in a military family and moved from base to base. My dad was gone 6 months out of the year. I have made lifelong friendships with other military children growing up. I love the military and have the utmost respect for the sacrifices our service members have to make to keep our country safe.
