Serving Veterans and their families, 2009
The Sacramento Veterans Community Support Network, VCSN, was created in 2007. A consortium of volunteers from over 50 service providers and government agencies who recognized the need to effectively organize our community's collective resources came together to meet the burgeoning demand by veterans for educational opportunities, housing assistance, employment training, and health care, both physical and mental. Our group now has over 85 agencies, both public and private, participating in our mission.
The increasing number of veterans returning from overseas deployments are encountering substantial challenges in transitioning to a civil, peaceful society. Because demand exceeds the government's capacity to provide for the full scope of veteran's requirements, VCSN is planning for the next, annual educational event for schools and veterans, reorienting both. This creates special opportunities for the public sector to assist with financial sponsorship.
The VCSN is an all-volunteer, certified non-profit, community-based group dedicated to serving the needs of veterans and their families. We invite YOU to join us in our efforts to assist veterans reentering society and re-establishing their lives as they return home from combat. Our next eduational event will be held at Sacramento City College on Friday, September 25, 2009. We need YOUR help. Please contact the VCSN Board President, Jan Wald, at 916 622-7360 or waldj@saccounty.net.
