Veterans Support Commission

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 8 years.

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!

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.

SCHOLARSHIP

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